According to the IMT-2000 specification of 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) and 3GPP2, Turbo codes is selected as a FEC(forward error correction) code for even higher reliable data communication. In 3GPP complied IMT-2000 system, channel coding under consideration is the selective use of convolutional coding and Turbo codes of 1/3 code rate with 4 constraint length. Suggesting a new path metric normalization method, we achieved a low complexity and high performance SOVA decoder for Turbo Codes, Further more, we analyze the decoding performance with respect to update depth and find out the optimal value of it by using computer simulation. Based on the simulation result, we designed a SOVA decoder using VHDL and implemented it into the Altera EPF10K100GC503FPGA.

In recent digital communication systems, the performance of Turbo Code used as the error correction coding method depends on the interleaver size influencing the free distance determination and iterative decoding algorithms of the turbo decoder. However, some iterations are needed to get a better performance, but these processes require large time delay. Recently, methods of reducing the number of iteration have been studied without degrading original performance. In this paper, the new method combining ME (Mean Estimate) stopping criterion with SDR (sign difference ratio) stopping criterion of previous stopping criteria is proposed, and the fact of compensating each method's missed detection is verified Faster decoding realizes that reducing the number of iterative decoding about 1~2 times by adopting our proposed method into serially concatenation of both decoder. System Environments were assumed DS-CDMA forward link system with intense MAI (multiple access interference).

Carrier interferometry code is considered as a promising scheme that provides significant performance improvement via frequency diversity effect. Space-time coding is commonly employed to achieve a performance gain through space diversity. The combination of these techniques and forward error correction coding will lead to enhanced system capacity and performance. This paper presents a low-density parity check (LDPC) coded space-time orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission scheme with carrier interferometry code for high-capacity and high-performance mobile multimedia communications. Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed mobile multimedia transmission system offers a considerable performance improvement of approximately 9dB in terms of Eb/No in the Rayleigh fading channel with relatively low delay spread, in comparison with space-time OFDM. Performance gains are further increased, comparing with traditional OFDM systems.

The frequency-domain small-loop electromagnetic (EM) instruments are increasingly used for shallow environmental and geotechnical surveys because of their portability and speed. However, it is well known that the data quality is generally so poor that quantitative interpretation of the data is not justified in many cases. We present an inversion method that allows the correction for the calibration errors and also constructs multidimensional resistivity models. The key point in this method is that the data are collected at least at two different heights. The forward modeling used in the inversion is based on an efficient 3-D finite-difference method, and its solution was checked against 2-D finite-element solution. The synthetic and real data examples demonstrate that the joint inversion recovers reliable resistivity models from multi-frequency data severely contaminated by the calibration errors.

Wireless sensor networks(WSN) technology has various applications such as surveillance and information gathering in the uncontrollable area of human. One of major issues in WSN is the research for reducing the energy consumption and reliability of data. A system with forward error correction(FEC) can provide an objective reliability while using less transmission power than a system without FEC. In this paper, we propose to use LDPC codes of various code rate(0.53, 0.81, 0.91) for FEC for WSN. Also, we considered node-to-node interference in addition to AWGN channel. The proposed system has not only high reliable data transmission at low SNR, but also reduced transmission power usage.

다자간 데이터 송수신을 필요로 하는 다자간 화상 회의, 일대다 스트리밍, 일대다 파일 전송 등의 응용에서는 멀티캐스트를 사용하여 데이터 전송 부담을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나 IP 멀티캐스트가 인터넷 상에서 널리 지원되지 않고 있기 때문에, 멀티캐스트를 응용 계층에 구현하려는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일대다 대용량 파일 전송에서 효과적으로 전송시간을 단축할 수 있는 응용계층 멀티캐스트 기법을 제시한다. 신뢰적 전송을 위하여 Forward Error Correction (FEC)를 사용하여, 전송시간 단축을 위해 데이터 소스 외에 수신자들이 가상적으로 소스의 역할을 수행하도록 한다. 즉, 임의의 수신자는 데이터 소스뿐만 아니라, 다중 가상 소스로부터도 데이터를 수신할 수 있으므로 파일 수신 시간을 단축시킬 수 있다.

Energy consumption is a key issue in body sensor networks (BSNs) since energy-constrained sensors monitor the vital signs of human beings in healthcare applications. In this paper, packet size optimization for BSNs has been analyzed to improve the efficiency of energy consumption. Existing studies on packet size optimization in wireless sensor networks cannot be applied to BSNs because the different operational characteristics of nodes and the channel effects of in-body and on-body propagation cannot be captured. In this paper, automatic repeat request (ARQ), forward error correction (FEC) block codes, and FEC convolutional codes have been analyzed regarding their energy efficiency. The hop-length extension technique has been applied to improve this metric with FEC block codes. The theoretical analysis and the numerical evaluations reveal that exploiting FEC schemes improves the energy efficiency, increases the optimal payload packet size, and extends the hop length for all scenarios for in-body and on-body propagation.

The L2 Civil Signal (L2CS) will be transmitted by modernized IIR(IIR-M), IIF and all subsequent GPS satellites. It contains two codes of different length; CM code contains 10,230chips, repeats every 20milliseconds and is modulated with message data, and CL code contains 767,250chips, repeats every 1.5second Z-count and has no data modulation. And the message data is encoded for Forward Error Correction(FEC). The long code length is useful for weak signal, but it also requires very long acquisition time. Therefore, the structure of GPS Ll/L2C Correlator and the fast acquisition scheme are proposed in this paper.

The LDPC Code is focusing a powerful FEC(Forward Error Correction) codes for 4G Mobile Communication system. LDPC codes are used minimizing channel errors by modeling AWGN Channel as VDSL system. The performance of LDPC code is better than that of turbo code in long code word on iterative decoding algorithm. LDPC code are encoded by sparse parity check matrix. there are decoding algorithms for a LDPC code, Bit Flipping, Message passing, Sum-Product. Because LDPC Codes use low density parity bit, mathematical complexity is low and relating processing time becomes shorten.

This paper suggests the packet loss recovery method to communicate in real-time in the Internet. To reduce the effects of packet loss, Forward Error Correction(FEC) that adds redundant information to voice packets can be used. The major cause for speech quality degradation in IP-networks is packet loss. So, We recovered single lossy packet by using FEC method and concealed continued errors. The proposed scheme is evaluated in the Gilbert Internet channel model. The high quality of audio maintained up to 30% packet loss.
