A concatenated coding system using a binary code as the inner code and a nonbinary code as the outer code has been constructed for the purpose of error correction. The complexity of a conventional coding system grows exponentially as the code length of a block code becomes longer. To reduce the complexity for ling code, an effective communication system has been proposed by cascading two codes-binary and norbinary codes. Using a parallel-to-serial circuit and a serial-to-parallel circuit, the concatenated coding system has been designed and constructed by empolying a (7,3) burst error correcting code as the inner code and a (7,3) Reed-Solomon code as the outer code. This system has been simulated and tested using a micro-computer. For the (49,9) concatenated coding system, the error probability of the channel has been evaluated and compared to different coding systems.

This paper addresses a novel algorithm for variable rate channel coding with interleaver punctured convolutional code for wireless communication. In other to increase the coding performance and achieve the variable channel coding rate, serially concatenated convolutional coding scheme will be applied. In this paper, we characterize the effect of interleaver puncturing on the effectiveness of the proposed scheme some simulation results are presented, in which the channel model of additive Gaussian noise is assumed.

In order to transmit various types of multimedia data (i.e. voice, video, and data) over a wireless channel, the coding and modulation scheme needs to be flexible and capable of providing a variable quality of service, data rates, and latency. In this paper, we study a mobile multimedia COMA network combined with the concatenated Reed-Solomon/Rate Compatible Punctured Convolution code (RS/RCPC). Also, this paper propose the combination of concatenated RS/RCPC coder and COMA RAKE receiver for multimedia COMA traffic which can be sent over wireless channels. From the results, using a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel model, it is shown that concatenated RS/RCPC coder at the wireless physical layer can be effective in providing reliable wireless multimedia CDMA network. And the proposed scheme that combine concatenated RS/RCPC coder and CDMA RAKE receiver provides a significant gain in the BER performance over multi-user interference and multipath frequency selective fading channels.

Random network coding can be viewed as a single block code applied to all source packets. To manage the concomitant high coding complexity, source packets can be partitioned into generations; block coding is then performed on each set. To reach a better performance-complexity tradeoff, we propose a novel concatenated network code which mixes generations while retaining the desirable properties of generation-based coding. Focusing on the code's erasure performance, we show that the probability of successfully decoding a generation on erasure channels can increase substantially for any erasure rate. Using both analysis (for small networks) and simulations (for larger networks), we show how the code's parameters can be tuned to extract best performance. As a result, the probability of failing to decode a generation is reduced by nearly one order of magnitude.

In this paper, an efficient concatenated coding scheme under the satellite channel is presented. The performance of this scheme in terms of bit error rate versus energy per information bit over white gaussian noise power density E/N has been evaluated via computer simulation as a function of various system parameters. To achieve accuracy in simulation results, the distortions caused from the satellite channel, such as the nonlinearity of the TWTA(traveling wave tube amplifier), signal distortions of the input and output filters, has been considered. The simulation results show that, through using the 2/3 punctured convolutional code as the inner code of the concatenated code system, the coding rate can be improved more over 16%, while maintaining the same system complexity and bit error performance.

The error rate equation of Reed-Solomon/Convoutional concatenated coded MFSK signal transmitted over m-distributed fading channel with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and re- ceived with Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) diversity has been derived. The bit error probability has been evaluated using the derived equation and shown n figures as a function of signal to noise ratio, fading index and the number of diversity branches. From the results obtained, we have shown that the bit error probability of MFSK signal is improved by using coding technique in fading environment. The concatenated coding technique is found to be very effective. When concatenated coding and MRC diversity reception techniques are used together in fading environ- ment, the improvement of error performance attains about 6.6 dB in terms of SNR as compared with that of employing only concatenated coding case.

In this paper, we investigate the error performance of a serially concatenated system using a nonrecursive convolutional code as the outer code and a recursive QPSK space-time trellis code as the inner code on quasi-static and rapid Rayleigh fading channels. At the receiver, we consider iterative decoding based on the maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm. The performance is evaluated by means of computer simulations and it is shown that better error performance can be obtained by using low complexity outer and/or inner codes and the Euclidean distance criterion based recursive space-time inner codes. We also obtain new systems with large number of trasmit and/or receive antennas providing good error performance.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a HAPS(High Altitude Platform Station) system which is expected to be a next generation communication system and suggest several error correcting codes to provide high quality services. Since a HAPS system encounters serious signal attenuation due to rain and scattering in the air, concatenated codes which have a high coding gain is considered to be a proper error correcting method. In this paper, we provide performance analyses result of two candidate coding schemes for a HAPS. The first one is a conventional concatenated coding scheme, and the second one is a iterative decoding method known as Turbo Codes.

Underwater acoustic communication has multipath error because of reflection by sea-level and sea-bottom. The multipath of underwater channel causes receive signal to make error floor. In this paper, we propose the underwater communication system using various channel coding schemes such as RS coding, convolutional code, turbo code and concatenated code for overcoming the multipath effect in underwater channel. As shown in simulation results, characteristic of multipath error is similar to that of random error. So interleaver has not effect on error correcting. For correcting of error floor by multipath, it is necessary to use strong channel codes like turbo code. Turbo code is one of the iterative codes. And the performance of concatenated codes including RS code has better performance than using singular channel codes.
