Secure and Reliable 6G Communications with BCH-Based GLDPC and Kyber

초록

Channel coding in sixth-generation (6G) networks must attain exceptionally low bit error rate (BER), typically in the range of 10-6 to 10-9, to ensure the requisite level of reliability. While fifth-generation (5G) New Radio (NR) coding techniques have made substantial progress, the inherent limitations of the low error floor impede the attainment of such stringent BER targets. Compared to the low-density parity check (LDPC) codes employed in 5G communications, generalized low-density parity check (GLDPC) codes offer a more advantageous trade-off between computational complexity and error correction performance in 6G networks. GLDPC codes enhance traditional LDPC structures by incorporating more complex local decoding units within their check nodes. When coupled with cryptographic techniques, GLDPC codes can establish a robust information security framework. In this paper, we propose a new security-based GLDPC that uses a number of BCH matrices for the GLDPC decoding process combined with the Kyber algorithm (BCH-based KyGLDPC) before transmitting data to increase reliability and solve the security problem against quantum computer attacks. The system's performance is assessed using both image data and data encrypted prior to transmission in a white additive Gaussian noise environment. The results indicate that the system provides strong error correction and data security. © 2025 IEEE.
