Low-Rate PBRL-LDPC Codes for URLLC in 5G.

In this letter, we propose a class of rate-compatible raptor-like protographs, which is aimed at the design of low-rate low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with short length and fast convergence for ultra-reliable and low-latency communications in 5G. In the proposed protographs, the connection degrees can be progressively optimized by the protograph-based extrinsic information transfer analysis...
