Variable Rate Superorthogonal Turbo Code with the OVSF Code Tree
نویسندگان
چکیده
When using modern Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) in mobile communications, the user must be able to vary the transmission rate of users to allocate bandwidth efficiently. In this work, Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) codes are used with the same principles applied in a low-rate superorthogonal turbo code due to their variable-length properties. The introduced system is the Variable Rate Superorthogonal Turbo Code (VRSTC) where puncturing is not performed on the encoder’s final output but rather before selecting the output to achieve higher rates. Due to bandwidth expansion, the codes outperform an ordinary turbo code in the AWGN channel. Simulations results show decreased performance compared to those obtained with the employment of WalshHadamard codes. However, with OVSF codes, the VRSTC system keeps the orthogonality of codewords whilst producing variable rate codes contrary to Walsh-Hadamard codes where puncturing is usually performed on the final output. Keywords—CDMA, MAP Decoding, OVSF, Superorthogonal Turbo Code.

In code division multiple access (CDMA), orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes are used to allocate vacant codes when new calls arrive. In this paper, integration is done for allocation of OVSF codes when a quantized or non-quantized call arrives, and further, the voice calls and data calls are treated differently as former are delay sensitive and later can be stored in buffer.
