The Internet of Things refers to the aptitude of remotely connecting and monitoring anything, anytime, and anywhere via futuristic wireless networks. Due to the unreliable wireless links, broadcast nature of wireless transmissions, interference and noisy transmission channels, frequent topology changes, and the various quality of wireless channel, there are challenges in providing high data rate service, high throughput, high packet delivery ratio, low end-to-end delay, and reliable services. In wireless network and real time application systems, low complexity and shorter codeword length in channel coding scheme are preferred. Consequently, in order to address these challenges, we propose a novel error detection and correction codes called the low-complexity parity-check (LCPC) codes with short codeword lengths for futuristic wireless networks applications. The proposed codes have less complexity and lower memory requirement in comparison to turbo and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed LCPC codes outperform the Hamming and Reed-Solomon codes, in addition to the renowned LDPC codes. It offers up to 3-dB coding gain.
