A Block-Based Concatenated LDPC-RS Code for UAV-to-Ground SC-FDE Communication Systems.

To enhance the reliability of UAV-to-Ground data transmission in SC-FDE, this study proposes a combined MMSE equalization and LDPC-RS concatenated code approach, utilizing source redundancy to mitigate errors in low-elevation G2A communication. The proposed coding scheme combines a binary LDPC code as the outer code and an improved RS code as the inner code, resulting in improved resistance to burst and random errors. To address the coding aspect, this paper designs a coding table using RS coding as the underlying logic, enabling efficient coding. For decoding, a decoding scheme based on the minimum Euclidean distance criterion is devised, enabling high-performance decoding. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed LDPC-RS concatenated coding scheme significantly enhances the performance of the communication system, thereby offering considerable potential for application in UAV video transmission systems.
