In this article, we describe the information geometrical understanding of the belief propagation decoder, especially of the turbo decoding. The turbo decoding was proposed by Berrou et al. early in 90’s, and many studies have been appeared on this practical and powerful error correcting code. Even though many experimental results support the potential of the turbo decoding, there is not suffici...

In this paper we present an improved error correction approach for digital audio watermarking. It uses a turbo coding algorithm that takes into account temporal variations of the host audio’s statistical properties, using a turbo decoder that estimates the unknown host audio distribution in the watermarked audio. Experimental results showed nearly one order of magnitude of the BER decrease duri...

For evolution of the GSM/EDGE radio access network (RAN), the use of higher order modulation like 16and 32-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is considered in standardization for increased peak data rates and reduced transmission delays. In this paper, an optimized receiver design for different packet data transmission schemes is proposed. Turbo coding and turbo equalization is discussed...

In this paper, we investigate a coded solution to compensate for the nonlinear distortion of TDMA satellite waveforms. Based on a Volterra-type channel model and the turbo principle, we present a turbo-like system that includes a simple rate-1 encoder at the transmit side in addition to a conventional channel encoder; the receive side iteratively equalizes the nonlinear channel effect and decod...

The aim of this study was to obtain a basic knowledge of the fatty acid compositions and consequently, determination of diet for Turbo coronatus by means of fatty acids biomarkers. Samples were collected during a year (April, July, October 2007 and February 2008) in coastal areas of Chabahar Bay in Oman Sea. Biomarker fatty acids revealed that diet of Turbo coronatus included phytoplankton, zoo...

— In order to have reliable communication, channel coding is often employed. Turbo code as a powerful coding technique has been widely studied and used in communication systems. Turbo coding is an advanced forward error correction algorithm. A standard component in third generation (3G) wireless communication systems. Third generation (3G) mobile communication systems aim to provide a variety o...

In this paper, we define a stopping set of turbo codes with the iterative decoding in the binary erasure channel. Based on the stopping set analysis, we study the block and bit erasure probabilities of turbo codes and the performance degradation of the iterative decoding against the maximum-likelihood decoding. The error floor performance of turbo codes with the iterative decoding is dominated ...

For the construction of low rate turbo– codes, the concept of multiple parallel concatenated codes, i.e. the “multiple–turbo–code” has been successfully employed e.g. in [13, 16]. Analysis of this structure has been done via simulations [16] or the analysis of equivalent coding schemes [13]. In this paper we extend the method of EXIT charts [5], that has been applied to multiple–turbo–codes con...

It is known that one of the essential building blocks of turbo codes is the interleaver and its design using random, semi-random (S-Random) and deterministic permutations. In this paper, two new types of turbo code interleavers, Enhanced Block S-Random (EBSR) interleaver is proposed. The design algorithm for the new interleaver is described in depth, and the simulation results are compared to t...

 Turbo-detection applies the “turboprinciple” to iterative equalization and decoding of data transmitted via frequency selective channels. The performance of turbo-detection strongly depends on the ISI (Intersymbol Interference) introduced by the modulator and the waveform channel. In order to achieve higher data rates within GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), 8PSK modulation will ...
