  Spatially-coupled low-density parity-check codes attract much attention due
to their capacity-achieving performance and a memory-efficient sliding-window
decoding algorithm. On the other hand, the encoder needs to solve large linear
equations to terminate the encoding process. In this paper, we propose modified
spatially-coupled codes. The modified $(\dl,\dr,L)$ codes have less rate-loss,
i.e., higher coding rate, and have the same threshold as $(\dl,\dr,L)$ codes
and are efficiently terminable by using an accumulator.
