چکیده

Mobile WiMAX is a broadband wireless solution that enables convergence of mobile and fixed broadband networks through a common wide area broadband radio access technology and flexible network architecture. It adopts Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for improved multi-path performance in Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) environments. Scalable OFDMA (SOFDMA) is introduced in the IEEE 802e[1]. WIMAX system uses one of different types of channel coding but The mandatory channel coding scheme is based on binary nonrecursive Convolutional Coding (CC). There are other several optional channel coding schemes such as block turbo codes, convolutional turbo codes, and low density parity check (LDPC). In this paper a comparison between the performance of WIMAX using turbo code and using convolutional product code (CPC) [2] is made. Also a combination between them had been done. The CPC gives good results at different SNR values compared to both the turbo system, and the combination between them. For example, at BER equal to 10-2 for 128 subcarriers, the amount of improvement in SNR equals approximately 3 dB higher than turbo code and equals approximately 2dB higher than the combination respectively. Several results are obtained at different modulating schemes (16QAM and 64QAM) and different numbers of sub-carriers (128 and 512). Keywords—Turbo Code, Convolutional Product Code (CPC), Convolutional Product Code (CPC).

Study the Performance of Mobile Wimax Convolutional Turbo Code

A useful tool in the design of reliable digital communication systems is channel coding. Turbo codes have been shown to yield an outstanding coding gain close to theoretical Shannon limit in the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. This is due to relatively large coding gains that can be achieved. Over the past decade, turbo codes have been widely considered to be one of the most power...
