New Technique for Improving Performance of LDPC Codes in the Presence of Trapping Sets

Trapping sets are considered the primary factor for degrading the performance of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes in the error-floor region. The effect of trapping sets on the performance of an LDPC code becomes worse as the code size decreases. One approach to tackle this problem is to minimiz...
