(512, 256) NASA binary LDPC code
Max Iterations vs Performance
Binary VS non-binary codes• Short non-binary LDPC codes outperform their binary
counterparts by 1 dB or more
• This appears to be independent of the maximum number of iterations allowed for decoding a received frame
• The convergence speed (in terms of used iterations) of binary and non-binary codes is comparable
• The parity-check matrices of the non-binary codes which have been used as a reference are the same used in:

Comments on TC Randomization• It has already been observed [Alvarez2006] that, when
used at high data-rates, the CCSDS standard TM randomizer incurs spurious problems
• The problem is mainly due to Only Idle Data (OID) Frames, which are typically filled by zero bits before randomization
• Depending on the mission requirements, some solutions have been studied to ensure suitable randomization of high rate data [Garello2009]

Comments on TC Randomization (2)
• At the Earth's surface, the power flux density (PFD) produced by spacecraft emissions must not exceed prefixed values, fixed by ITU and ECSS
• These limits are those of interest for high data rate TM links
• Concerning NGU links, transmission occurs from Earth to a spacecraft, or between two spacecrafts
• What are the requirements to be considered for spurious frequencies (PFD masks, synchronization issues…)?
• Idle frames in asynchronous uplink services?
