Exploitation of 2D binary source correlation using turbo block codes with fine-tuning

This article proposes a joint source-channel coding technique for two-dimensional (2D) binary Markov sources by using concatenated turbo block codes composed of two Bose, Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem (BCH) codes, of which output is followed by a rate-1 recursive systematic convolutional code. The source correlation of all rows and columns of the 2D source is well exploited by using a modified Bahl–Co...

Decoding of Block Turbo Codes

Multi-non-binary turbo codes

This paper presents a new family of turbo codes called multi-non-binary turbo codes (MNBTCs) that generalizes the concept of turbo codes to multi-non-binary (MNB) parallel concatenated convolutional codes (PCCC). An MNBTC incorporates, as component encoders, recursive and systematic multi-non-binary convolutional encoders. The more compact data structure for these encoders confers some advantag...

Non-Binary Turbo Codes Interleavers

In this paper the particularities of the interleavers used in the case of the Recursive Systematic Convolutional Code (RSC), n/(n+2) rate, with n=2, unpunctured non-binary turbo codes (NBTC) were described. The interleavers: block, pseudo-random and new interleaving methods are presented. These new interleaving methods were elaborated starting from the particular form of the date accepted by no...

Inter-Block Permuted Turbo Codes

The structure and size of the interleaver used in a turbo code critically affect the distance spectrum and the covariance property of a component decoder’s information input and soft output. This paper introduces a new class of interleavers, the inter-block permutation (IBP) interleavers, that can be build on any existing “good” block-wise interleaver by simply adding an IBP stage. The IBP inte...
