1962년 Gallager에 의해서 처음 제안된 LDPC 부호는 터보부호(turbo codes)와 마찬가지로 Shannon의 채널용량 한계(channel capacity limit)에 가까운 성능을 보였지만 당시 기술력으로 구현이 불가능한 복잡도로 인해 오랫동안 잊혀져왔다. 1995년 Mackay 와 Neal은 이를 재발견하였고 간단한 확률적 복호법을 이용하여 LDPC 부호의 성능이 매우 우수함을 보였다. 또한 1997년 Mackay는 q>2일 때 LDPC 부호를 GF(q)상에서 구성할 경우에 성능이 더 좋아짐을 보였다. 본 논문에서는 이진 bit로 구성된 같은 길이의 정보 비트(information bit)를 통해 16-QAM 변조를 사용했을시 Binary LDPC 부호와 Non Binary LDPC 부호의 성능을 비교 분석하고, 최적의 성능을 가지는 LDPC 부호의 설계에 대해 제안한다.

In this paper, the concept of puncturing is introduced to turbo code in order to implement various code as code rate varies.rates. First, several different puncturing matrices are applied into rate 1/3 encoder in order to produce various rate 1/2 turbo codes. By analyzing and comparing these results, we can show which puncturing pattern should be selected in order to maintain good performance. Second, we select some appropriate puncturing patterns which provide the best performance of turbo codes of various rates from 1/3 to 2/3 among all the possible candidates. Finally, we provide the change of required Eb/No at $P_b=10^{-4}$ as code rate varies.

In this paper, we suggest a new technique for WPC parity-check matrix (H-matrix) generation and a corresponding decoding process. The key idea is to construct WPC H-matrix by using a convolutional encoder. It is easy to have many different coderates from a mother code with convolutional codes. However, it is difficult to have many different coderates with LDPC codes. Constructing LDPC Hmatrix based on a convolutional code can easily bring the advantage of convolutional codes to have different coderates. Moreover, both LDPC and convolutional decoding algorithms can be applied altogether in the decoding part. This process prevents the performance degradation of short-length WPC code.

The next-generation wireless communication requires fast transmission speeds with various services and high reliability. In order to satisfy these needs we study MIMO system used layered space time coded system (LST) combining space time trellis codes (STTC) with turbo codes. In LST, two codes that are inner and outer codes are concatenated in the serial fashion. The inner codes are turbo Pi codes suggested in DVB-RCS NG system, and outer codes are STTC codes proposed by Blum. The interleaver technique is used to efficiently combine two codes. And we proposed and simulated that a full iteration method between turbo decoder and BCJR decoder to improve the performance instead of only processing inner-iteration turbo decoder. The simulation results of proposed effective layered method show improving BER performance about 1.3~1.5dB than conventional one.

In this paper, the performance of double binary turbo code is analyzed and simulated in ultra wide-band (UWB) systems employing multiple-antenna scheme. We consider both pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) and pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (PAM-DS) UWB systems. The space time block code (STBC) scheme is adopted as a transmit diversity method. Also, receive diversity scheme is applied. And double binary turbo code is applied to the UWB system.

The Pan-European Digital Audio Broadcasting(DAH) system's performance is characterized and improved with the aid of turbo codec. From the fact that the first bit among the four coded bits at the RCPC coding defined in the Eureka 147 DAD system is not. punctured and always transmitted, this paper proposes a new turbo coded DAB system model that replaces the existing RCPC codec by a turbo codec without modifying the puncturing procedure and puncturing vectors defined in the standard DAB system for compatibility. The performance of a new system is compared to that of the conventional system under the Rician fading channel and the Rayleigh fading channel in conjunction with DAD transmission mode I and III suitable for the terrestrial single frequency network and satellite broadcasting.

It is well known the fact that turbo codes has better performance as the number of iteration and the interleaver size increases in the AWGN channel environment. However, as the number of iteration and the interleaver size are increased, it is required much delay and computation for iterative decoding. Therefore, it is important to devise an efficient criterion to stop the iteration process and prevent unnecessary computations and decoding delay. In this paper, it proposes the efficient stop criterion algorithm for turbo codes using the maximum sign change of LLR. It is verifying that the proposal variable iterative decoding controller can be reduced the average iterative decoding number compared to conventional schemes with a negligible degradation of the error performance.

The digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system adopts Coded OFDM(COFDM) for channel coding. The COFDM is a combined technique of multicarrier transmission(OFDM) and punctured convolutional coding with viterbi error correction. Because the channel coding is an important topic for OFDM systems, this paper proposes a new turbo coded OFDM system that replaces the existing RCPC codec by a turbo codec without modifying the puncturing procedure and puncturing vectors defined in the standard DAB system for compatibility. The performance of a new system is compared to that of the conventional system under the frequency selective Rician fading channel and the frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel in conjunction with DAB transmission mode I suitable for the terrestrial single frequency network(SFN) broadcasting. The standard system's performance was improved with the aid of turbo codec.

터보 부호는 반복적인 복호 알고리즘을 사용함으로써 가산성 백색 가우시안 잡음(AWGN) 채널 환경에서 Shannon 한계에 가까운 성능을 보이는 오류정정 방식으로 제안되었으나, 반복 연산량에 따른 복호 지연과 인터리버에 따른 지연에 의해 실시간 처리의 어려움이라는 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 터보 부호의 성능을 저하시키지 않는 범위에서 적절한 초기 임계값 설정에 따라 불필요한 반복 복호 횟수를 줄일 수 있는 터보 복호기 구조를 제안한다. 적절한 초기 임계값 설정은 LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio)값의 평균값과 분산, 복호기의 출력에 대한 BER에 근거하여 여러 번의 모의 실험을 통해서 최적의 값으로 결정된다. 제안한 방식은 초기 임계값을 적절히 선택하면 손실이 없는 범위 내에서 반복횟수를 감소시킴으로써 기존의 정해진 반복횟수로 인한 큰 복호 지연을 미연에 방지하고, 이에 따른 계산량 감소는 저전력의 효과도 가져온다. 성능 평가를 위해 BER = $10^{-6}$이내이고, 전송속도가 32kbps 이상인 IMT2000의 고속 데이터 전송 환경에서 모의 실험을 하였다. 실험 결과로 기존의 정해진 반복횟수를 갖는 터보 복호기에 비해 SNR 변동(0~3dB)에서 평균적으로 55~90% 정도의 감소된 반복횟수를 검증하였다.

In this paper, MIMO system based on turbo equalization techniques which LDPC codes were outer code and space time trellis codes (STTC) were employed as an inner code are studied. LDPC decoder and STTC decoder are connected through the interleaving and de-interleaving that updates each other's information repeatedly. In conventional turbo equalization of MIMO system, BCJR decoder which decodes STTC coded bits required two-bit wise decoding processing. Therefore duo-binary turbo codes are optimal for MIMO system combined with STTC codes. However a LDPC decoder requires bit unit processing, because LDPC codes can't be applied to these system. Therefore this paper proposed turbo equalization for MIMO system based on LDPC codes combined with STTC codes. By the simulation results, we confirmed performance of proposed turbo equalization model was improved about 0.6dB than that of conventional LDPC codes.
