The next generation wireless and satellite communications require high transmission efficiency and high reliability to provide various services with subscribers. To satisfied these requirements, incorporated MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) system with FTN (Faster Than Nyquist) techniques based on layered space time coded method are considered in the paper. To improve performance, STTC (Space Time Trellis Code) was employed as an inner code. As the same as SISO (Single Input Single Output) system, the outer codes are turbo codes. In receiver side, BCJR algorithm is used for STTC decoding in order to eliminate interferences induced by FTN transmission. They can yield significantly increased the data rates and improved link reliability without additional bandwidth. Therefore, we proposed a new decoding model for MIMO FTN model and confirmed that performance was improved compared to conventional SISO model according to amount of interference for FTN.

반복 복호 알고리듬에 의해 복호화된 터보 코드는 가산성 백색 가우시안 잡음(AWGN) 채널 환경에서 이론적으로 Shannon의 한계에 근접한 뛰어난 코딩 이득을 나타내는 것으로 보여지고 있다. 그러나, 터보 코드의 성능은 터보 부호화기에서 프레임의 크기 즉, 인터리버의 크기에 의존한다. IMT-2000과 같은 이동 통신 채널 환경에서 음성을 전송하는 경우에는 터보 코드의 프레임 크기는 매우 작다. 그리고, 그것은 터보 코드의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 직접적인 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 차세대 이동 통신 시스템에서 프레임 크기가 작은 음성 프레임을 이용하여 터보 코드의 성능을 검증하며, 작은 프레임 크기에 알맞은 3개의 직렬 MAP(Maximum A Posteriori probability) 복호기를 이용한 반복 복호의 터보 코드를 제안하고 부호율 1/3, 구속장의 길이 3 또는 4, 프레임 크기 24, 192 비트에 대하여 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 터보 코드의 성능을 분석한다.

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.

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.

In this paper, simulations are performed using standards proposed by 3GPP and 3GPP2. From the view point of performance analysis based on Turbo code specification, performance of Turbo code in AWGN, proposed by 3GPP, is compared. To make comparison, experimental result of Turbo code that is performed on one of the many block sizes proposed by 3GPP2 in Rayleigh fading channel, is provided. Performance of Turbo decoders using Max_Log MAP and Log MAP are compared.

In this letter, we propose a new design of recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) codes based on the distance spectrum properties which can maximize the performance. Good constituent RSC codes of code rate 1/2 are searched by computer and presented in a table. Their performances are shown by computer simulation. New designed codes shows faster convergences according to iterative decoding and good performances.

Turbo Code decoder is an iterate decoding technology, which extracts extrinsic information from the bit to be decoded by calculating both forward and backward metrics in each decoding step, and uses the information to the next decoding step. Viterbi decoder, which is for a convolutional code, runs continuous mode, while Turbo Code decoder runs by block unit. There are algorithms used in a decoder : which are MAP(maximum a posteriori) algorithm requiring very complicated calculation and SOVA(soft output Viterbi algorithm) using Viterbi algorithm suggested by Hagenauer, and it is known that the decoding performance of MAP is better. The result of this make experimentation shows that the performance of SOVA, which has half complex algorithm compare to MAP, is almost same as the performance of MAP when the SOVA decoding performance is supplemented with Robust equalization techniques.

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.

In this paper, we propose an efficient cooperative diversity technique, which partition the codewords of each mobile and transmit portions of each codeword through independent fading channels using duo-binary turbo codes. A coded diversity technique can achieve high cooperative diversity gain by decoding and transmitting of the re-encoded signal, while this can also cause high performance degradation due to failure of the decoding. In this paper, we introduce various coded diversity technique using duo-binary turbo codes which are defined as channel coding schemes in the IEEE WiMax specification, and also demonstrate performance simulation results with the analysis. We also propose a cooperative diversity technique using rate-compatible duo-binary turbo codes, where user terminals with different parity symbols cooperate each other. Simulation results investigated in this paper reveal that the proposed scheme show high diversity gain at a reasonal SNR range.
