| The closing of the gap between state-of-the-art codes and the Shannon limit could save space agencies tens of millions of dollars on every mission because they could use lighter data transmitters with smaller batteries and antennas. LDPC codes provide superior bit-error-rate (BER) performance that is closer to the Shannon Limit than other available technologies. Combined with high iteration performance, LDPC codes provide a BER that is closer to the Shannon Limit than other available error correction technologies for all code rates. |
