A parity check matrix construction method for constructing a low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over GF(q) (q>2) based on the modified progressive edge growth (PEG) algorithm is introduced. First, the nonzero locations of the parity check matrix are selected using the PEG algorithm. Then the nonzero elements are defined by avoiding the definition of subcode. A proof is given to show the good minimum distance property of constructed GF(q)-LDPC codes. Simulations are also presented to illustrate the good error performance of the designed codes.
