The goal of the next generation wireless system is to transmit higher data rate and have a larger coverage area. However, radio transmit power need to be kept to a minimum due to regulation and system power consumption reasons. Forward-error-correction FEC system can be employed to solve this problem. The coding gain provided by FEC enables the system to transmit data at the same error performance with lower signal strength, at the cost of coding bandwidth overhead. To recover the bandwidth used by the FEC, bandwidth efficient modulation scheme is used to transmit more data in the fixed bandwidth. This research will focus on combining these two techniques to design a pratical coded modulation scheme for wireless communication that can achieve both high data throughput and larger area coverage. Traditionally, concatenated FEC based on convolutional codes are employed in wide variety of systems. However, with the standard K 7 inner convolutional code, the coding gain performance of the concatenated code is 1 to 2 dB away from the Shannon bound. Obviously there is room for improvement in the coding gain area. Low Density Parity Check LDPC codes is a good candidate to replace the K 7 convolutional code. It has been demonstrated that LDPC codes can achieve coding gain performance that is only several tenth of dB from the Shannon bound. The purpose of this project is to design a flexible architecture for the LDPC code that can be used in different modulation schemes, and is both power and area efficient. To achieve the design goal, several design criterions need to be considered in the same time to achieve optimal result. LDPC code design need to be studied not only in the context of
