The well-known CCSDS(consultative committee for space data systems)LDPC(low density parity check)code for near-earth applications is discussed and used for a case study of McEliece system.First,a data error is picked out with the CCSDS LDPC code.The problem with its generator matrix is illustrated and overcome by a shortened code with some middle code bits deleted.In correspondence,its parity check matrix is also revised with the new quasi-cyclic(QC)-LDPC code.Second,a fast de-coding scheme for general QC-LDPC codes is proposed based on flipping bits and fetching words.Besides,a lightweight CCSDS LDPC code based McEliece system can be set up with such codes.The repaired CCSDS LDPC code is supposed to be still useful for communications and storages,and the normalized decoding algo-rithm is also efficient for general QC-LDPC codes.
