Turbo code, a kind of error correction coding technique, has been used in the field of digital mobile communication system. As the number of iterations increases, it can achieves remarkable BER performance over AWGN channel environment. However, if the number of iterations is increased in the several channel environments, any further iteration results in very little improvement, and requires much delay and computation in proportion to the number of iterations. To solve this problems, it is necessary to device an efficient criterion to stop the iteration process and prevent unnecessary delay and computation. In this paper, it proposes an efficient and simple criterion for stopping the iteration process in turbo decoding. By using sign changed ratio of extrinsic information values in turbo decoder, the proposed algorithm can largely reduce the average number of iterations without BER performance degradation. As a result of simulations, the average number of iterations is reduced by about $12.48%{\sim}22.22%$ compared to CE algorithm and about $20.43%{\sim}54.02%$ compared to SDR algorithm.

In conventional video coding, the complexity of encoder is much higher than that of decoder. However, as more needs arises for extremely simple encoder in environments having constrained energy such as sensor network, much investigation has been carried out for eliminating motion prediction/compensation claiming most complexity and energy in encoder. The Wyner-Ziv coding, one of the representative schemes for the problem, reconstructs video at decoder by correcting noise on side information using channel coding technique such as turbo code. Since the encoder generates only parity bits without performing any type of processes extracting correlation information between frames, it has an extremely simple structure. However, turbo decoding errors occur in noisy side information. When there are high-motion or occlusion between frames, more turbo decoding errors appear in reconstructed frame and look like Salt & Pepper noise. This severely deteriorates subjective video quality even though such noise rarely occurs. In this paper, we propose a computationally extremely light encoder based on symbol-level Wyner-Ziv coding technique and a new corresponding decoder which, based on a decision whether a pixel has error or not, applies median filter selectively in order to minimize loss of texture detail from filtering. The proposed method claims extremely low encoder complexity and shows improvements both in subjective quality and PSNR. Our experiments have verified average PSNR gain of up to 0.8dB.

A forward error correction (FEC) coding techniques is one of time diversity techniques with which the effect of channel impairments due to noise and fading are spreaded over independently, and thus the performance could be improved. Therefore, the performance of the FEC scheme can be maximized if we minimize the correlation of channel information across over a codeword. In this paper, we propose a block turbo code with the maximized time diversity effect which may be reduced due to utilization of high order modulation schemes and due to transmission over a comparatively fast fading environment. Especially, we propose a very simple formula to calculate the address of coded bit allocation, and thus we do not need any additional outer interleavers, i.e., inter-codeword interleavers. The simulation resuts investigated in this paper reveal that the proposed scheme can provide the performance gain of more than a few decibels compared to the conventional schemes.

Recently, the Green IT is noticed because of the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, a drain on natural resources and pollution. In this paper, Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems with Turbo Coded scheme using LED is proposed and simulated in an optical wireless channel. As a forward error correction scheme to reduce information losses, turbo coding was employed. To decode the codewords, The Map (Maximum a Posteriori) algorism and SOVA (Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm) is used. The above mentioned schemes are described and simulation results are analyzed. As using turbo codes scheme, BER performance of proposed VLC systems is improved about 5 [dB].

The performance of underwater acoustic(UWA) communication system is sensitive to the Inter-Symbol Interference(ISI) due to delay spread develop of multipath signal propagation. And due to limited frequency using acoustic wave, UWA is a low transmission rate. Thus, it is necessary technique of Space-time code, equalizer and channel code to improve transmission speed and eliminate ISI. In this paper, UWA communication system were analyzed by simulation using these techniques. In the result of simulation, the proposed Turbo Equalization method based on layered Space Time Codes has improved performance compared to conventional UWA communication.

The average number of iterations is reduced by about $13.99%{\sim}15.74%$ compared to CE algorithm and about $17.88%{\sim}18.59%$ compared to SCR algorithm.

Turbo processing have been known as methods close to Shannon limit in the aspect of wireless multi-input multi-output (MIMO) communications similarly to wireless single antenna communication. The iterative processing can maximize the mutual effect of coding and interference cancellation, but LDPC coding has not been used for turbo processing because of the inherent decoding process delay. This paper suggests a LDPC coded MIMO system with turbo parallel space-time (Turbo-PAST) processing for high-speed wireless communications and proposes a average soft-output syndrome (ASS) check scheme at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) for the Turbo-PAST system to decide the reliability of decoded frame. Simulation results show that the suggested system outperforms conventional system and the proposed ASS scheme effectively reduces the amount of turbo processing iterations without performance degradation from the point of average number of iterations.

Turbo Code는 반복 부호 알고리듬을 사용함으로써 백색 가우시안 잡음(AWGN)채널 환경하에서 Shannon의 한계에 가까운 성능을 보이는 오류정정 방식으로 제안되었다. 그러나 Turbo code는 반복복호로 인해 매 복호시마다 큰 인터리버와 복호기를 거쳐야 하기 때문에 수신과정에서 커다란 지연을 요구하게 된다. 따라서 차세대 무선 멀티미디어 통신에서 실시간 음성서비스나 화상서비스를 제공하는데 어려움이 많다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 터보 복호기를 변형하여 매 복호시 각각의 복호기에서 LLR 출력시퀀스를 발생시킴으로써 반복 복호 횟수를 줄이는 방법을 제안하였다. 이렇게함으로서 기존의 Toubo code가 갖는 성능은 크게 변화시키지 않으면서 각각의 정보프레임을 가변적으로 복호함으로서 반복 복호로 인한 시간 지연을 줄였다.

It is well-known that the performance of turbo codes can be improved by allocating different energies per code symbol. In this paper, based on this observation, we propose a joint encoding and modulation scheme for quadrature amplitude modulated turbo code systems. In the proposed scheme, the amount of energy difference between the turbo coded symbols is optimized by optimizing the constellation of quadrature amplitude modulation(QAM). The proposed scheme offers better coding gain compared to the conventional combination of binary turbo code and QAM at the bit error rate of $10^{-5}$.
