Summary: 
The codes by the u/u+v construction have the extended error capacity for additional Hamming weight. It is a simple way to construct a large size block code using smaller ones. In this letter, low density parity check (LDPC) codes on u/u+v construction are investigated. Consequently, the study can enrich the family of LDPC codes and provide some special LDPC implementations.
