In Wyner-Ziv video coding (WZVC), powerful error correcting codes must be used to achieve high compression efficiency; turbo codes are the most commonly used error correcting codes in WZVC. To improve the turbo coding performance in the context of WZVC, this paper proposes a probability updating technique (PUT) acting as an outer loop of the common turbo decoding operation. Whenever a turbo dec...

We investigate the performance of turbo interference cancellation receivers in the space time block coded (STBC) direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) system. Depending on the concatenation scheme used, we divide these receivers into the partitioned approach (PA) and the iterative approach (IA) receivers. The performance of both the PA and IA receivers is evaluated in Rayleigh...

121 Generalized Versions of Turbo Decoding in the Framework of Bayesian Networks and Pearl's Belief Propagation Algorithm Peyman Meshkat and John D. Villasenor Electrical Engineering Department University of California, Los Angeles Abstract| We use the framework of Bayesian networks to introduce generalizations of the traditional turbo decoding algorithm. We show that traditional turbo decoding...

In iterative equalization and decoding (\turbo-detection") the \turbo{principle" is used for detection of coded data transmitted over a frequency selective channel. Due to the burst and interleaver structure the turbo-detection scheme cannot be adopted to the GSM without modiications. We present some possibilities to adopt turbo detection to TDMA systems with inter-block-interleaving like GSM a...

To help accelerate progress in multi-target, multi-camera tracking systems, we present (i) a new pair of precision-recall measures of performance that treats errors of all types uniformly and emphasizes correct identification over sources of error; (ii) the largest fully-annotated and calibrated data set to date with more than 2 million frames of 1080p, 60fps video taken by 8 cameras observing ...

Turbo decoding techniques achieve near-optimal performance in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) at low Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR's). Amongst these techniques, convolutional turbo codes and product turbo codes are nowadays the most common ones. They have already been selected as a standard for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) [Lit. 4]. In the future, they will probably also be ...

Turbo codes, formed by the parallel concatenation of two recursive systematic convolutional component codes separated by an interleaver, have been proposed for use in a variety of wireless applications, including mobile, satellite and fixed wireless systems. Analysis of their performance requires knowledge of their transfer function, which conveys their distance properties. Using the transfer f...

Object-Oriented Implementation of LTE Turbo Codes by Anusha Gangadi Master of Science in Electrical Engineering West Virginia University Matthew C. Valenti, Ph.D., Chair Turbo codes are a popular form of error correction codes as they perform close to the Shannon limit. Turbo codes have interesting features like parallel code concatenation, nonuniform interleaving, and an iterative decoding alg...
