Quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) code[28][1; Appx. C] 

Description

LDPC code that can be put into quasi-cyclic form. Its parity check matrix can be put into the form of a block matrix consisting of either circulant permutation sub-matrices or the zero sub-matrix. Such codes are often constructed by lifting certain protographs into such block matrices [9]. Their simple structure makes them useful for several wireless communication standards.

Protection

Minimum-distance upper bounds exist [10,11].

Realizations

5G NR cellular communication for the traffic channel [12,13].Wireless communication: WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) [1416], WiFi 4 (IEEE 802.11n) [17], and WPAN (IEEE 802.15.3c) [18].
