APPLICATION OF TURBO CODES IN HIGH-SPEED REAL-TIME CHANNEL

I. Introduction Turbo code has obtained comprehensive atten-tion and research due to its near-Shannon perform-ance since it was proposed in 19931], and has be-come a research hotspot in information and coding theory area. Application and realization methods of turbo codes in various communication systems have also attracted great interest of researchers. The good BER performance of turbo codes provides it a wide application prospect in deep space and mobile com- munication systems. The IT…

Application of Turbo codes in high-speed real-time channel

The time delay of Turbo codes due to its iterative decoding is the main bottleneck of its application in real-time channel. However, the time delay can be greatly shortened through the adoption of parallel decoding algorithm, dividing the received bits into several sub-blocks and processing in parallel. This letter mainly discusses the applicability of turbo codes in high-speed real-time channel through the study of a parallel turbo decoding algorithm based on 3GPP-proposed turbo encoder and interleaver in various channel. Simulation result shows that, by choosing an appropriate sub-block length, the time delay can be obviously shortened without degrading the performance and increasing hardware complexity, and furthermore indicates the applicability of Turbo codes in high-speed real-time channel.
