Communication device architecture for in-place constructed LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) code. Intelligent design of LDPC codes having similar characteristics there between allows for a very efficient hardware implementation of a communication device that is operative to perform encoding of respective information bit groups using more than one type of LDPC codes. A switching module can select any one of the LDPC codes within an in-place LDPC code for use by an LDPC encoder circuitry to generate an LDPC coded signal. Depending on which sub-matrices of a superimposed LDPC matrix are enabled or disabled, one of the LDPC matrices from within an in-place LDPC code matrix set may be selected. A corresponding, respective generator matrix may be generated from each respective LDPC matrix. Selection among the various LDPC codes may be in accordance with a predetermined sequence, of based operating conditions of the communication device or communication system.
