Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the distance properties of irregular LDPC codes using the ensemble construction proposed by Richardson et al [2]. By generalizing the method introduced by Gallager for regular LDPC codes [1], we calculate the average weight distribution of irregular LDPC codes. Then, we interpret the stability condition of density evolution as a sufficient condition so that the error probability due to low weight codewords tends to zero under maximum-likelihood decoding.
