The original turbo codes (TCs), presented in 1993 by Berrou et al., consist of the parallel
concatenation of two rate-1/2 binary recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) codes. This …

Non-binary turbo codes are built from recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) component
codes with m inputs (m/spl ges/2). This construction offers better performance than classical …

Recursive systematic convolutional encoders have been shown to play a crucial role in the
design of turbo codes. We recall some properties of binary convolutional encoders and …

Turbo codes, first presented to the coding community in 1993 [1],[2], represent one of the
most important breakthroughs in coding since Ungerboeck introduced trellis codes in 1982 …

In this article, we design new turbo codes that can achieve near-Shannon-limit performance.
The design criterion for random interleavers is based on maximizing the effective free …

Parallel concatenated coding schemes employing convolutional codes as constituent codes
linked by an interleaver have been proposed in the literature as 'turbo codes'. They yield …

The turbo coding technique, which was introduced in 1993, is nothing but a way of
concatenating two simple convolutional codes in parallel to obtain an overall powerful code …

A double serially concatenated code with two interleavers consists of the cascade of an
outer encoder, an interleaver permuting the outer codeword bits, a middle encoder, another …

A parallel concatenated convolutional coding scheme consists of two constituent systematic:
convolutional encoders linked by an interleaver. The information bits at the input of the first …
