Greetings,

I am simply trying to use the LDPC encoder/decoder in MATLAB. A very small code like the following:

message = randi([0 1],2,1);
ldpcEncoder = comm.LDPCEncoder;
ldpcDecoder = comm.LDPCDecoder;
encoder = ldpcEncoder(message);
decoder = ldpcDecoder(encoder);

is throwing an error :

Error using LDPCEncoder

Input must be a column vector of length K, the message length. K is the number of columns in the parity check matrix minus the number of rows.

I presume when we don't mention a parity check matrix it takes a default value as described in dvbs2ldpc. So here, I really don't know what's happening even with such a simple code. Please guide me through it. Thank you !

Hi,

From my Understanding, you are facing an error related to the size of your message ,when trying to perform LDPC coding. As you have mentioned in the question, when a parity check matrix is not specified, the default sparse parity check matrix is obtained as dvbs2ldpc(1/2), which returns the parity-check matrix H of the LDPC code with code rate (1/2) from the Digital Video Broadcasting standard DVB-S.2. The block length of the code is 64,800. Hence the size of the parity check matrix H is 32400*64800. Thus the size of your message should be (64800-32400), as the dimension of the matrix H is (N-K) by (N) , where K is the size of your message, and N is the block length of the code. You can see that the error no longer exists when the following code is executed. Hope this helps!

message = randi([0 1],32400,1);
ldpcEncoder = comm.LDPCEncoder;
ldpcDecoder = comm.LDPCDecoder;
encoder = ldpcEncoder(message);
decoder = ldpcDecoder(encoder);
