Reed solomon inner-convolutional outer concatenated code with error-erasure decoding for narrowband and broadband power line communications

چکیده
A novel concatenated coding system for both narrowband and broadband power line communications (NB-PLC and BB-PLC) is proposed. The order of the inner and the outer codes switches from the G3-PLC standard and the interleaver is eliminated. The Error-and-erasure decoder (EED) is selected as the Reed-Solomon inner code is because the impulsive noises clearly mark the erasure positions with a threshold-based algorithm. The nonbinary convolutional outer code with vector symbol decoding (VSD) can correct longer burst errors. The results show that for BB-PLC, the bit error rate (BER) of RS (63,51) error-only (ED) with VSD is 1.5×10 and of EED-VSD is 9.0×10 at Eb/No 26 dB. For NB-PLC, the BER of ED-VSD is 7.9×10 -5 and of EED-VSD is 2.2×10 at Eb/No 16 dB. Therefore, BER of EED-VSD is three to four orders of magnitude lower than ED-VSD. Moreover, NB-PLC reaches the desired BER around 10 at about 10 dB lower Eb/No than BB-PLC.

Abstract Error correcting codes can play a key role in improving the efficiency and reliability of wireless communications. Concatenated codes have the advantages that: 1) breaking the task into stages simplifies decoding, and 2) performance is good against clustered bit errors, fading and bursty interference. Reed-Solomon codes (maximum distance codes) have been popular as an outer code of con...

Vector Symbol Decoding (VSD) is compared with Reed-Solomon Decoding (RSD) as an outer code of a concatenated code for two examples, where the inner decoder may provide a combination of errors, erasures or list decisions for a symbol. One example is for idealized orthogonal inner code signals with random noise and soft inner code decisions. The other example is for multiple access fast frequency...

The partial response channel can be viewed as a rate-1 encoder in which the output alphabet differs from the input alphabet. In serially concatenated coding schemes, the partial response channel can serve as the inner encoder. Recent work on the application of turbo decoding techniques to partial response channels has focused on using a parallel concatenation of convolutional encoders as the ou...
