B.3 VersaFEC

(Short-block LDPC)

While LDPC coding represents a significant development in the area of FEC and its performance

is exceptional in terms of coding gain, its higher latency is considered disadvantageous in some

applications.

Comtech EF Data’s development of LDPC incorporated research into ways to reduce the block

size of LDPC (and hence its latency) while preserving the coding gain performance very close to

the Shannon bound. The result is development of a set of VersaFEC codes with two distinct

purposes:

1) To provide an expanded choice of combinations of modulation and coding that

significantly reduces latency without compromising coding gain performance.

2) To provide combinations of modulation and coding (MODCODs), which are suitable for

not only Constant Coding and Modulation (CCM) applications, but are also the basis for a

patent-pending Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) system.

VersaFEC offers a sufficient range of code rates and modulation types that optimize link

performance under most conditions. Figure B-1 compares the performance of the VersaFEC codes

with the Shannon bound. Note that the chart uses SNR in place of Eb/No – a convention for

comparing ACM MODCODs. SNR is defined as

Eb/No + 10

log

(Spectral Efficiency).
