Abstract
In mobile communication systems, there are errors that will be generated in the digital signal due to fading and interference. Consequently, different techniques are used to improve the system's reliability and enhance the signal's robustness. Channel coding techniques are used to enhance the system reliability of 5G wireless communication systems . In the upcoming wireless technologies, LDPC codes are still introduced as an alternative to turbo codes. However, the error floor phenomenon is one of the biggest demerits of using LDPC code in the different communication systems that need low error rates. This paper uses RS codes with LDPC codes in a concatenated code to solve this demerit of LDPC codes. Meanwhile, a modified concatenated RS/LDPC codes are created using outer RS codes with inner LDPC codes then appended by interleaver, unlike the conventional concatenated codes that use the interleaver between both codes. Thereafter, the modified concatenated RS/LDPC codes were suggested to enhance BER performance for the f-OFDM system. The results showed that using the proposed concatenated code outperformed using single and familiar concatenated RS/LDPC code in terms of improving BER performance. Meanwhile, the proposed system achieved lower OOBE values than the conventional OFDM system. Therefore, the resulted system can be introduced as a competitor candidate for 5G wireless communication systems due to these features
