This paper presents generalization and application for the conventional SISO decoding algorithm of Block Turbo Codes. R. M. Pyndiah suggested an iterative SISO decoding algorithm for Product Codes, two-dimensionally combined linear block codes, on AWGN channel. It wascalled Block Turbo Codes. Based on decision of Chase algorithm which is SIHO decoding method, SISO decoder for BTC computes soft decision information and transfers the information to next decoder for iterative decoding. Block Turbo Codes show Shannon limit approaching performance with a little iteration at high code rate on AWGN channel. In this paper we generalize the conventional decoding algorithm of Block Turbo Codes, under BPSK modulation and AWGN channel transmission assumption, to the LLR value based algorithm and suggest an application example such as concatenated structure of LDPC codes and Block Turbo Codes.

In the next generation mobile communications, powerful channel coding is essential in order to obtain high quality multimedia services. Turbo code can achieve good error performance by iterative decoding, but more iterations result in additional computational complexity and delay. Thus, a method to reduce the number of iterations without additional performance degradation is needed. Turbo code with CRC is known to be the most efficient method to reduce the number of iterations. In this scheme, the performance may be degraded by the edge-effect like the conventional turbo code without CRC. In this paper, a method to eliminate the edge-effect is proposed by adopting D-parameter to the conventional s-random interleaver. As results of simulation, the edge-effect of the turbo code with CRC is shown to be successfully eliminated by using the new interleaver designed with D-parameter.

시공간 블록부호는 송신단에서 여러 개의 안테나를 사용하여 무선 통신의 신뢰도를 높인다. 그런데 4개의 송신안테나를 사용하는 시공간 블록부호는 다이버시티 차수 4와 전송률 1을 동시에 얻을 수 없다. 직교 시공간 블록부호는 다이버시티 차수 4를 유지하지만 전송률에서 손해를 보는 반면, 준직교 시공간 블록부호는 다이버시티 이득에서 손해를 보면서 전송률 1을 유지한다. 본 논문에서는 준직교 시공간 블록부호의 복호기에서 최대 우도 복호 방법으로 비트별 연성결정값을 출력하고, 터보부호와 연접하여 다양한 전송률에서 직교 및 준직교 시공간 블록부호의 성능을 비교하였다.

It is well known the fact that turbo lodes 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, and caused the flattening effect phenomenon which is very litter BER performance improvement at the arbitrary SNR. In this paper, We proposed the new asymmetric turbo codes, which consist of parallel concatenated turbo codes that use mixed types of component codes with different not only constraint length but also generate polynomial and analyzed its BER performance for log-MAP decoding algorithm with frame size of 128, 256, 512 and 1024 bits, and coding rate of 1/3. As a results of simulation, proposed asymmetric turbo codes verify that its BER performance is superior to conventional symmetric turbo codes. It can be also observed that the flattening effect phenomenon is very reduced by applying the proposed asymmetric turbo codes. It gains respectively 1.7dB ~2.5dB and 2.0dB~2.5dB SNR improvements in the case of short frame(128, 256) and large frame(512, 1024) size for the BER $10_{-4}$>/TEX> region.

부호화 시스템의 성능 분석은 일반적으로 BER(Bit Error Rate)을 이용하여 이루어지는데, 많은 시간을 요하는 정확한 BER을 구하는 대신 근사치인 상한값(upper bound)을 이용하는 경우도 많다. 그러므로 실제 값과 가까운 BER 상한값을 구하는 것은 중요한 일이다. 터보부호의 경우 테일 비트(tail bit)에 의한 영향이 무시되는 블록 길이가 긴 경우[1]에 BER 상한값이 보고되었다. 그러나 테일 달기(tail terminating) 기법을 사용하면서 블록 길이가 짧을 경우 추가되는 테일 비트가 BER 상한값에 미치는 영향은 무시할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 테일비트를 고려한 터보부호의 BER 상한값 계산 방법을 제시한다. 그리고 테일 달기 기법보다 복잡하지만 테일 비트가 없으므로 블록 길이가 짧은 경우 효율적으로 사용될 수 있는 테일 물기(tail-biting) 기법을 이용하느 터보부호의 BER 상한값 계산 방법도 제시한다.

In this paper, performance of RS (Reed-Solomon), turbo and LDPC (low density parity check) code in the binary symmetric erasure channel is investigated. When the average erasure length is reduced, the frequency of short erasures is increased. The RS code shows serious performance degradation in such an environment since decoding is carried out symbol-by-symbol. As the erasure length is increased, however, the RS code shows much improved en-or performance. On the other hand, the message and corresponding parity symbols of the turbo code can be erased at the same time for the long erasures. Accordingly, iterative decoding of the turbo code can not improve error performance any more for such a long erasure. The LDPC code shows little difference in error performance with respect to the variation of the average erasure length due to the virtual interleaving effect. As a result, the LDPC code has much better erasure decoding performance than the RS and turbo code.

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.

In this paper, we propose an incremental redundancy(IR)-hybrid ARQ(HARQ) scheme which uses double binary turbo codes for error correction. We also propose a methodology for basic analysis of the throughput which is a performance index of HARQ. The proposed double binary turbo IR-HARQ scheme provides higher throughput than binary IR-HARQ, which uses binary turbo codes for error correction, at all $E_s/N_0$. An extra coding gain is also attained by using the proposed HARQ scheme over the coding gain achieved by turbo codes only.
