Performance Analysis of Concatenated Codes for High Altitude Platform System
성층권 통신시스템을 위한 연접부호의 성능분석
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of a HAPS(High Altitude Platform Station) system which is expected to be a next generation communication system and suggest several error correcting codes to provide high quality services. Since a HAPS system encounters serious signal attenuation due to rain and scattering in the air, concatenated codes which have a high coding gain is considered to be a proper error correcting method. In this paper, we provide performance analyses result of two candidate coding schemes for a HAPS. The first one is a conventional concatenated coding scheme, and the second one is a iterative decoding method known as Turbo Codes.
