Turbo - codes : the ultimate error control codes ? by A . Burr
نویسنده
چکیده
Turbo-codes have attracted a great deal of interest since their discovery in 1993. This paper reviews the reasons for this, in particular their attainment of the ultimate limits of the capacity of a communication channel. The paper describes the two fundamental concepts on which they are based: concatenated coding and iterative decoding. This latter is the real ‘turbo-principle’, which is the real secret of their remarkable performance. The paper also reviews the direction of research in this area since 1993, and shows that, far from bringing coding research to an end, turbo-codes have led to a renaissance. In particular, other applications of the ‘turbo-principle’ have emerged, and these are discussed, along with the practical applications of turbo-codes that have appeared, from mobile radio to deep-space exploration.

An approach to fault detection and correction in design of systems using of Turbo codes
We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...
متن کاملComparison of iterative decoder performance with union bounds for short frame turbo codes
We consider short frame turbo-codes, suitable for delay-sensitive services such as conversational speech, or for encoding single ATM cells. We compare the uniform interleaver bound of Benedetto and Montorsi, and a union bound obtained by estimating the weight distribution due to the actual pseudo-random interleaver, with the simulated BER using an iterative decoder. We show that the uniform int...
متن کاملAn Approach to Increasing Reliability Using Syndrome Extension
Computational errors in numerical data processing may be detected efficiently by using parity values associated with real number codes, even when inherent round off errors are allowed in addition to failure disruptions. This paper examines correcting turbo codes by straightforward application of an algorithm derived for finite-field codes, modified to operate over any field. There are syndromes...

In particular, it shows the positive effect of fast power control employed in these systems on the rel...
متن کاملA Hybrid ARQ Using Double Binary Turbo Codes
The reliability of a data communication can be improved by using an automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol, in which the receiver requests the retransmission of data packets when an error is detected in the received data. The hybrid ARQ (HARQ) scheme combines an ARQ and an error correction coding [1]. Turbo codes proposed by Berrou et al. in 1993 [2] show an error correction capability approac...
