3.2.4.3.3. LDPC Puncturer parameters

3.2.4.3.3.1. --pct-fra-size, -N Required

Type

integer

Examples

--pct-fra-size 912

Set the frame size \(N\). This is not necessarily the codeword size if a puncturing pattern is used.

3.2.4.3.3.2. --pct-type

Type

text

Allowed values

LDPC NO

Default

LDPC

Examples

--pct-type LDPC

Select the puncturer type.

Description of the allowed values:

Value

Description

NO

Disable the puncturer.

LDPC

Puncture the LDPC codeword.

3.2.4.3.3.3. --pct-pattern

Type

binary vector

Examples

--pct-pattern "1,1,1,0"

Give the puncturing pattern following the LDPC code.

The number \(P\) of values given in this pattern must be as \(N_{cw} = P \times Z\) where \(Z\) is the number of bits represented by a single value in the pattern.

This LDPC puncturer behavior is such as, for the above example, the first three quarter bits are kept and the last quarter is removed from the frame.
