Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are able to achieve a near-capacity 
performance on several binary channels for acceptable decoding complexity. 
LDPC codes are linear codes which can be decoded with a sub-optimal algorithm on a sparse graph. 

For channels with an Euclidean input space, continuous alphabet codes 
might be more appropriate. Lattice codes are the Euclidean space analog 
of linear codes. In this project the goal is to analyze and design low-density 
lattice codes for the additive white Gaussian noise channel. 

The project is suitable for students with a theoretical and practical interest.
