ldpc4qkd - Rate Adaptive LDPC Codes for Distributed Source Coding

Header-only library for distributed source coding.

Includes

• 6 LDPC codes including rate adaption, stored in a custom memory-efficient JSON-based format. The format has two versions, one for storing general LDPC matrices (same use-case as alist format), the other is used explicitly to store quasi-cyclic exponents for very space-efficient storage of large quasi-cyclic LDPC matrices.
• Julia utilities to handle these file formats and generate C++ code that allows embedding LDPC codes into an executable as constant static data (both as binary matrix in CSC-storage, as well as QC-exponents directly).
• Separate C++ implementation of syndrome encoding (binary sparse-matrix-dense-vector multiplication)
• Ability to group and the CSC-stored QC-exponents into constexpr objects (requires C+++20)
• Example implementation of a general Belief Propagation decoder suited for Slepian-Wolf setting. This is a single C++ header, that should be easy to use.
• Frame error rate and critical rate simulations. These benchmarks are not yet automated and no plots are yet generated from the simulation results.

Changes from last release:

LDPC Codec that can now be directly initialized from compressed-sparse-column storage of QC-exponents

Breaking changes:

• removes RateAdaptiveCode template parameter Bit. This is now a template parameter of underlying functions, which is more flexible (and hopefully not too much more complicated/prone to errors...)
• (ABI-breaking) reworks underlying data representation for RateAdaptiveCode.

Non-breaking changes: - New header encoder_advanced.hpp. Enables constexpr storage of QC-exponents for a code in a grouped manner. For how to use, see unit test in testencoderadvanced.cpp. Requires C++20! - Enable construction of RateAdaptiveCode from a vector<vector<idx_t>> mother_pos_varn - Together, these also enable creating RateAdaptiveCode from QC-exponents stored statically in C++.
