Abstract
We focus on two-user Gaussian interference channels (ICs) with fast fading and study implementation of explicit all public and Han- Kobayashi (HK) coding schemes with low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Stability conditions for the coding schemes are derived, and a modified form of the EXIT chart analysis is proposed to estimate the decoding threshold of LDPC code ensembles. The proposed code design is employed in several examples and the obtained rate pairs are compared with the achievable rate region (ARR) boundaries demonstrating that rate pairs very close to the ARR boundaries are attained. Performance of finite block length codes are also studied through simulations of specific codes picked from the optimized LDPC code ensembles in order to verify the analysis.
