Abstract: A method for selecting a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code for encoding variable sized data used in data communication systems. The method selects a LPCD code from a plurality of LDPC codes of different codeword lengths and code rates; by calculating a number of shortening Nshortened bits and a number of puncturing Npunctured bits for each of the plurality of LDPC codes, and determines a selected LDPC code from the plurality of shortened and punctured LDPC codes meeting a performance criterion.

Abstract: The invention introduces an apparatus, method and system that allow coding matrices to be expanded to accommodate various information packet sizes and support for various code rates; additionally the invention defines a number of coding matrices particularly suited to the methodology. The invention enables high throughput implementations, allows achieving low latency, and offers other numerous implementation benefits. At the same time, the new parity part of the matrix preserves the simple (recursive) encoding feature.

Abstract: Downloading of an image to a digital signal processing (DSP) system in, e.g., a modem, allowing diverse applications to be processed by the same modem simply by changing the image loaded in to the DSP system at any time. The image is dynamically downloaded from an image repository having stored therein different images. The modem can directly access the repository directly via a data bus. Alternatively, where the modem is on a modem card having multiple modems or in a modem bank having multiple modems, a controller may control, with or without input from a user via a user interface, access to the repository. The timing of the dynamic download of an image may be event driven, interrupt driven, or driven by the content of the data stream received from a remote device, or a local device.
