We propose a coding/decoding strategy that surpasses the symmetric information rate of a binary insertion/deletion (ID) channel and approaches the Markov capacity of the channel. The proposed codes comprise inner trellis codes and outer irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The trellis codes are designed to mimic the transition probabilities of a Markov input process that achieves a high information rate, whereas the LDPC codes are designed to maximize an iterative decoding threshold in the superchannel (concatenation of the ID channels and trellis codes).
