Formally, a parity check matrix H of a linear code C is a generator matrix of the dual code, C ⊥. This means that a codeword c is in C if and only if the matrix-vector product Hc ⊤ = 0 (some authors [1] would write this in an equivalent form, cH ⊤ = 0.) The rows of a parity check matrix are the coefficients of the parity check equations. [2]
The ternary Golay code consists of 3 6 = 729 codewords. Its parity check matrix is [].Any two different codewords differ in at least 5 positions. Every ternary word of length 11 has a Hamming distance of at most 2 from exactly one codeword.
A self-dual code is one which is its own dual. This implies that n is even and dim C = n/2.If a self-dual code is such that each codeword's weight is a multiple of some constant >, then it is of one of the following four types: [1]
In coding theory, an expander code is a [,] linear block code whose parity check matrix is the adjacency matrix of a bipartite expander graph.These codes have good relative distance (), where and are properties of the expander graph as defined later, rate (), and decodability (algorithms of running time () exist).
H-matrix can refer to various kinds of matrices denoted by the letter H: H-matrix, a matrix whose comparison matrix is an M-matrix; Hadamard matrix, a square matrix whose entries are either +1 or −1 and whose rows are mutually orthogonal; Hamiltonian matrix, a 2n × 2n matrix A such that JA is symmetric, where J is the skew-symmetric matrix
Tanner proved the following bounds Let be the rate of the resulting linear code, let the degree of the digit nodes be and the degree of the subcode nodes be .If each subcode node is associated with a linear code (n,k) with rate r = k/n, then the rate of the code is bounded by
In the linear code case a different proof of the Singleton bound can be obtained by observing that rank of the parity check matrix is . [4] Another simple proof follows from observing that the rows of any generator matrix in standard form have weight at most n − k + 1 {\displaystyle n-k+1} .
The parity bit may be used within another constituent code. In an example using the DVB-S2 rate 2/3 code the encoded block size is 64800 symbols (N=64800) with 43200 data bits (K=43200) and 21600 parity bits (M=21600). Each constituent code (check node) encodes 16 data bits except for the first parity bit which encodes 8 data bits.
