FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: disclosed is a novel structure of irregular LDPC codes, which enables to obtain several of codes with different length from a single prototype code with a parity check matrix, given as H=[Hz Hi], where Hz defines a well-known pattern of the corresponding Tanner graph. The parity check matrices for longer codes are obtained as [Hz' "П" diag(Hi,…,Hi), where Hz' defines a longer zigzag pattern depending on the number of used matrices Hi and "П" represents a certain permutation.
EFFECT: improved method for encoding and decoding data message for longer code by reusing hardware components designed for decoding a prototype code.
