In this paper, we design the optimal rate capacity approaching irregular Low-Density Parity-Check code ensemble over Binary Erasure Channel, by using practical Semi-Definite Programming approach. Our method does not use any relaxation or any approximate solution unlike previous works. Our simulation results include two parts; first, we present some codes and their degree distribution functions that their rates are close to the capacity. Second, the maximum achievable rate behavior of codes in our method is illustrated through some figures.

In this paper, we present a novel way for solving the main problem of designing the capacity approaching irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) code ensemble over binary erasure channel (BEC). The proposed method is much simpler, faster, accurate and practical than other methods. Our method does not use any relaxation or any approximate solution like previous works. Our method works and finds optimal answer for any given check node degree distribution. The proposed method was implemented and it works well in practice with polynomial time complexity. As a result, we represent some degree distributions that their rates are close to the capacity with maximum erasure probability and maximum code rate.

We derive a new fast convergent Density Evolution algorithm for finding optimal rate Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes used over the binary erasure channel (BEC). The fast convergence property comes from the modified Density Evolution (DE), a numerical method for analyzing the behavior of iterative decoding convergence of a LDPC code. We have used the method of [16] for designing of a LDPC code with optimal rate. This has been done for a given parity check node degree distribution, erasure probability and specified DE constraint. The fast behavior of DE and found optimal rate with this method compare with the previous DE constraint.
