EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart is a graphical tool for analysis of low density parity check (LDPC) and other codes with iterative decoding. In this paper, we propose the design of LDPC codes for coded modulation schemes by application of linear programming with conditions derived from EXIT charts. Points on the EXIT curve for bit and check node operations are first computed either using analysis or by simulation. The entire EXIT curve is then obtained by linear interpolation. Finally, the EXIT curves are optimized to obtain the maximum possible rate for the code under a given threshold condition. To demonstrate the design procedure, we consider the cases of M-PAM and 8-PSK over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The optimization method presented is versatile, and can be extended to other constellations and situations easily.
