Abstract

Irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes can provide an unequal error protection (UEP) capability naturally by unequal degree distribution. In this paper we propose a new architecture of UEP-LDPC encoder based on the method of Richardson and Urbanke in image transmission. In order to reduce processing complexity and hardware consumption, we also present a novel two-stage dynamic programming algorithm to perform matrix triangulation instead of traditional approach. Experiment results show the optimization architecture and algorithm can provide high UEP capability and reduce encoding complexity significantly.
