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]
For practical purposes, parity-check matrix of a binary Goppa code is usually converted to a more computer-friendly binary form by a trace construction, that converts the -by-matrix over () to a -by-binary matrix by writing polynomial coefficients of () elements on successive rows.
A matrix H representing a linear function : whose kernel is C is called a check matrix of C (or sometimes a parity check matrix). Equivalently, H is a matrix whose null space is C . If C is a code with a generating matrix G in standard form, G = [ I k ∣ P ] {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {G}}=[I_{k}\mid P]} , then H = [ − P T ∣ I n − k ...
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).
The parity-check matrix of a Hamming code is constructed by listing all columns of length r that are non-zero, which means that the dual code of the Hamming code is the shortened Hadamard code, also known as a Simplex code. The parity-check matrix has the property that any two columns are pairwise linearly independent.
For linear block codes, the subcode nodes denote rows of the parity-check matrix H. The digit nodes represent the columns of the matrix H. The digit nodes represent the columns of the matrix H. An edge connects a subcode node to a digit node if a nonzero entry exists in the intersection of the corresponding row and column.
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.
