Abstract

As a crucial part in bit-interleavered coded modulation (BICM), protograph low-density paritycheck(P-LDPC) codes and interleavers can greatly improve the performance of a BICM system. In this paper, we use a modified EXIT analysis method to analyze thresholds for a P-LDPC coded BICM system
with high-order QAM in different variable degree matched mapping (VDMM) schemes. A general criterion for optimization of VDMM interleavers is proposed. Results of numerical analysis and simulation show correctness of the optimization criterion.
