The low-density parity-check (LDPC) lattices perform very well in high dimensions under generalized min-sum iterative decoding algorithm. In this work we focus on 1-level LDPC lattices. We show that these lattices are the same as lattices constructed based on Construction A and low-density lattice-code (LDLC) lattices. In spite of having slightly lower coding gain, 1-level regular LDPC lattices have remarkable performances. The lower complexity nature of the decoding algorithm for these type of lattices allows us to run it for higher dimensions easily. Our simulation results show that a 1-level LDPC lattice of size 10000 can work as close as 1.1 dB at normalized error probability (NEP) of $10^{-5}$.This can also be reported as 0.6 dB at symbol error rate (SER) of $10^{-5}$ with sum-product algorithm.
