In this paper, we consider the constructions of type-II quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with girth eight from a Sidon sequence. We first derive the necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing a girth-eight type-II QC-LDPC code. By combining these conditions with the concept of the Sidon sequence, three classes of type-II QC-LDPC codes are subsequently proposed with girth eight. To the best of our knowledge, the second and the third classes we proposed are the first series of systematic and algebraic constructions for the girth-eight type-II QC-LDPC codes that have rates being greater than a half and, at the same time, have distance upper bounds being not limited to 12. Via simulations, we show the promising performance of the proposed type-II QC-LDPC codes with girth eight. In addition, a set of general bounds and explicit/random constructions without using a Sidon sequence are also presented for the type-II QC-LDPC codes with girth six or eight. We observe that the proposed codes perform better than or equally well as the random QC-LDPC codes from PEG and quadr.-congr. methods, while the novel codes possess both highly structured parity-check matrices and very flexible choices in circulant size.
