Abstract:
      Low-density parity-check ($LDPC$) codes were first presented by Gallager in 1962. They are linear block codes and their bit error rate (BER) performance approaches remarkably close to the Shannon limit. The $LDPC$ codes created much interest after the rediscovery by Mackay and Neal in 1995. This paper introduces some new LDPC codes by considering some combinatorial structures. We present regular $LDPC$ codes based on group divisible designs which have Tanner graphs free of four-cycles.
