Abstract

The performance of turbo code is improved by updating extrinsic information. The bit patterns are categorized by the transition characteristics of extrinsic information in this paper. And the distribution of these patterns is surveyed according to signal-to-noise ratio. Based on the results, the dominant error pattern is determined at high signal-to-noise ratio range. Thus, it is expected to improve the error performance in the error floor region by correcting the dominant error pattern which is found in this paper.
