In this paper, we introduce the concept of spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) as the
spatial coupling of a number of turbo-like code ensembles. In particular, we consider the …

We propose a new class of partially information-coupled (PIC) turbo codes to improve the
transport block (TB) error rate performance for long-term evolution (LTE) systems, while …

Spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) have been shown to have excellent decoding
thresholds due to the threshold saturation effect. Furthermore, even for moderate block …

For any given short code (referred to as the basic code), block Markov superposition
transmission (BMST) provides a simple way to obtain predictable extra coding gain by …

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic and finite-length performance of block Markov
superposition transmission (BMST) of short codes, which can be viewed as a new class of …

Having close-to-capacity performance and low error floor, even for small block lengths,
make spatially coupled serially concatenated codes (SC-SCCs) a very promising class of …

In this paper, we investigate the impact of spatial coupling on the thresholds of turbo-like
codes. Parallel concatenated and serially concatenated convolutional codes as well as …

In this paper, we develop a new capacity-approaching code, namely, parallel-concatenated
(PC)-Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) convolutional code that is based on the parallel …

Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are a class of spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-
TCs) with excellent belief propagation (BP) thresholds. In this paper we analyze the …

In this paper, we give an overview of spatially coupled turbo codes (SC-TCs), the spatial
coupling of parallel and serially concatenated convolutional codes, recently introduced by …
