Summary :

In this paper, we compare the decoding error rates in the error floors for non-binary low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over general linear groups with those for non-binary LDPC codes over finite fields transmitted through the q-ary memoryless symmetric channels under belief propagation decoding. To analyze non-binary LDPC codes defined over both the general linear group GL(m, F2) and the finite field F2m, we investigate non-binary LDPC codes defined over GL(m3, F2m4). We propose a method to lower the error floors for non-binary LDPC codes. In this analysis, we see that the non-binary LDPC codes constructed by our proposed method defined over general linear group have the same decoding performance in the error floors as those defined over finite field. The non-binary LDPC codes defined over general linear group have more choices of the labels on the edges which satisfy the condition for the optimization.
