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 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.

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, we present two simulation methods to investigate the effect of excluding bit errors on generating the extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) chart for low density parity check (LDPC) and turbo codes. We utilized the simulation methods including and excluding bit errors to generate EXIT chart which was originally proposed for turbo codes. The generated EXIT charts for LDPC and turbo codes shows that the presented methods appropriately demonstrates the performance behaviours of iterative decoding for LDPC and turbo codes. Analysis on the simulation results demonstrates that the EXIT chart excluding the bit errors shows only a small part of the curves where the amount of information is too large.

The higher data rate of mobile communications has been required for various multimedia services. In DS-CDMA system, one of the solutions to increase the throughput is to use multicode. However, multipath channel destorys the orthogonality of spreading codes, which causes the intercede interference(ICI). ICI gives severe effect on multicode DS-CDMA for BER performance. Conventionally, multicode DS-CDMA system uses the Rake receiver with turbo code, which cannot overcome error floor caused by ICI. In this paper, we propose frequency domain turbo equalization based on minimum mean squared error(FDTE-MMSE) for multicode DS-CDMA in frequency selective channel and evaluate its BER performance by computer simulation. The simulation results show that FDTE-MMSE gives much better performance in high Eb/N0 than the Rake receiver with turbo code in multipath length L>1.

Turbo coding and turbo processing have been known as methods close to Shannon limit in the aspect of wireless MIMO communications similarly to wireless single antenna communication. The iterative processing can maximize the mutual effect of coding and interference cancellation, but turbo coding has not been used for turbo processing because of the inherent decoding process delay. This paper proposes a turbo coded MIMO system with adaptive turbo parallel space-time (Turbo-PAST) processing for high-speed wireless communications and a enhanced cyclic redundancy check (E-CRC) scheme as an efficient and simple priori stopping criterion. Simulation results show that the Turbo-PAST outperforms conventional system with 1.3dB and the proposed E-CRC scheme effectively reduces the amount of turbo processing iterations from the point of average number of iterations.

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.
