Abstract: | Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes have been investigated as well as quasi-cyclic (QC) codes, e.g., on the construction of efficient low-density parity-check codes. While QC codes have the same length of cyclic intervals, GQC codes have different lengths of cyclic intervals. Similarly to QC codes, each GQC code can be described by an upper triangular generator polynomial matrix, from which the systematic encoder is constructed. In this paper, a complete theory of generator polynomial matrices of GQC codes, including a relation formula between generator polynomial matrices and parity-check polynomial matrices through their equations, is provided. This relation generalizes those of cyclic codes and QC codes. While the previous researches on GQC codes are mainly concerned with 1-generator case or linear algebraic approach, our argument covers the general case and shows the complete analogy of QC case. We do not use Gröbner basis theory explicitly in order that all arguments of this paper are self-contained. Numerical examples are attached to the dual procedure that extracts one from each other. Finally, we provide an efficient algorithm which calculates all generator polynomial matrices with given cyclic intervals. |
