In this paper, we analyzed the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing/ frequency hopping multiple access(OFDM/FHMA) hybrid system that in impulsive interference and broadband wireless communication channel then we applied the turbo code scheme to make satisfied in data and voice transmission service. Also, we compared the bit error rate(BER) performance of turbo coded diversity scheme in the OFDM/FHMA hybrid system. As a result of simulation, proposed OFDM/FHMA hybrid system shows the enhancement of 10 times compared to the general OFDM/FHMA system.

In this paper, the network performance of a turbo coded optical code division multiple access (CDMA) system with cross-layer, which is between physical and network layers, concept is analyzed and simulated. We consider physical and MAC layers in a cross-layer concept. An intensity-modulated/direct-detection (IM/DD) optical system employing pulse position modulation (PPM) is considered. In order to increase the system performance, turbo codes composed of parallel concatenated convolutional codes (PCCCs) is utilized. The network performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability (BEP). From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that turbo coding offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding and decoding complexity. Also, it is confirmed that the performance of such an optical CDMA network can be substantially improved by increasing e interleaver length and e number of iterations in e decoding process. The results of this paper can be applied to implement the indoor optical wireless LANs.

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.

In this paper we study the effect of bit-to-symbol mappings on the convergence behavior of turbo equalizers employing low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over high order modulations. We analyze the effective SNR of the outputs from linear minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) equalizers and the convergence property of LDPC decoding for different symbol mappings. Numerical results show that the bit-reliability (BR) mapping provides better performance than random mapping in LDPC-coded turbo equalizers over high order modulations. We also verify the effect of symbol mappings through the noise threshold and error performance.

Turbo code is popularly used for the reliable communication in the presence of burst errors. Even if it shows good error performance near to the Shannon limits, it requires a large amount of memories and exhibits long latency. This paper proposes an architecture for the low power implementation of the Turbo decoder adopting the Max-Log-Map algorithm. In the proposed design, two SISO decoders are designed to operate in parallel, and a novel interleaver is designed to prevent the collision of memory accesses by two SISO decoders. Experimental results show that power consumption has been reduced by about 40% in the proposed decoder compared to previous Turbo decoders. The area overhead due to the additional interleaver controller is negligible.

In recent years LEO(Low Earth Orbit) satellite communication systems have gained a lot of interest as high speed multimedia services by satellite are about to be provided. It is mandatory to use very efficient ECC(Error Correcting Code) to support high speed multimedia services over LEO satellite channel. Turbo codes developed by Berrou et al. in 1993 have been actively researched since it can achieve a performance close to the Shannon limit. In this paper, a LEO satellite channel model is adopted and the fading characteristics of LEO satellite channel are analyzed for the change of elevation angle in various propagation environments. The performance of turbo code is analyzed and compared to that of conventional convolutional code using the satellite channel model. In the simulation results using the Globalstar orbit constellations, performance of turbo codes shows 1.0~2.0dB coding gain compared to that of convolutional codes over all elevation angle and propagation environment ranges we have investigated. The performance difference resulting from the change of elevation angle in various propagation environments and the performance of different ECC are analyzed in detail, so that the results can be applied to choose an appropriate ECC scheme for various system environment.

1993년 Shannon 한계에 근접하는 우수한 성능을 가진 터보 부호가 발표된 이후 그에 대한 많은 연구들이 이루어져 왔지만, 한편으로는 반복 복호의 복잡도와 이로 인한 복호 지연을 고려할 때 실제 시스템에 적용이 가능할 것인가에 대한 의문 역시 함께 제기되어 왔다. 그러나 터보 부호를 구현하고자 하는 노력은 계속되었으며, 현재는 터보 부.복호기를 구현한 제품들이 시장에 등장한 상태이다. 특히 위성통신시스템에서의 적용을 위한 노력이 증가하고 있으며 곧 그 구현을 앞두고 있는 IMT-2000 시스템에서도 터보 부호는 일부 서비스에서 활용될 예정 등으로 앞으로 그 활용도는 급격히 늘어날 전망이다. 터보 부.복호기를 한 칩에 구현한 제품들도 이미 출시되어 있는 상태이다. 터보 부.복호기를 하드웨어로 구현한 제품들은 크게 길쌈 터보 부호를 사용한 것과 블록 터보 부호를 사용한 것으로 양분된다. 본 논문에서는 실제 상용 하드웨어로 구현되어 있는 터보 부호의 특징과 성능을 분석한 내용을 기술하고자 한다.

Recently, research on the enhancement of the conventional VSB scheme for DTV signal transmission have been done. Not to affect on the performance of the widely spread conventional receivers and at the same time be able to receive the enhanced stream. there have been efforts to enhance the coding scheme which is backward compatible with the conventional method. The conventional schemes proposed so far is based on the idea of combining a new trellis encoder with the standard 8-VSB trellis encoder. In this paper, we Propose serial concatenated turbo TCM scheme which combines two trellis encoder with the interleaver between them. We compare the performance of the proposed scheme and the existing scheme through computer simulation.
