This article presents a tutorial overview of the class of concatenated convolutional codes
with interleavers, also known as turbo-like codes. They are powerful codes, formed by a …

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 …

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 …

A tutorial introduction to the new class of binary parallel concatenated recursive systematic
convolutional codes termed turbo codes is presented. It is shown that such codes are in fact …

Serial concatenation of convolutional codes separated by an interleaver has recently been
shown, through the use of upper bounds to the maximum likelihood performance, to be …

This paper presents a new family of convolutional codes, nicknamed turbo-codes, built from
a particular concatenation of two recursive systematic codes, linked together by nonuniform …

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 …

This thesis is about Turbo codes-codes constructed via parallel concatenation of two
recursive convolutional encoders linked by an interleaver. The focus of the work is on the …

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 …

Recently proposed 'turbo codes' yield very good performance in combination with simple
iterative decoding strategies. They can be thought of as parallel concatenated coding …
