Turbo coding is the most commonly used error correcting scheme in wireless systems resulting in maximum coding gain. In this paper, a comparative study of the symbol-bysymbol maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm, its logarithmic versions, namely, Log-MAP and Max-Log-MAP decoding algorithms used in SISO Turbo Decoders are analyzed. The performance of Turbo coding algorithms are carried out in te...

We propose a method for jointly performing timing recovery and turbo equalization on partial response channels with error-correction codes. The proposed detector uses soft decisions from previous turbo iterations to improve timing estimates before the next, and each iteration is only marginally more complex than that of a conventional turbo equalizer. As compared to a conventional receiver with...

In this paper, a modified optimal power allocation scheme for different bits in turbo encoder has been proposed to improve the performance of Turbo Codes system in High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) service. In a typical turbo code in HSDPA system, an encoder with code rate of 1/3 was used with bit repetition scheme or puncturing system to achieve code rate of 1/4. In this study, the aut...

The Intel® CoreTM i7 processor code named Nehalem has a novel feature called Turbo Boost which dynamically varies the frequencies of the processor’s cores. The frequency of a core is determined by core temperature, the number of active cores, the estimated power and the estimated current consumption. We perform an extensive analysis of the Turbo Boost technology to characterize its behavior in ...

A turbo coded cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas scheme is considered, and its performance over a fast Rayleigh fading channel is evaluated. The turbo coded OFDM incorporates MIMO (2 × 2) Alamouti space-time block code. The interleaver design, and its placement always plays a vital role in the performance of a turbo ...

The key issue of applying Turbo codes is to find an efficient implementation of turbo decoder. This paper addresses the implementation of a simplified and efficient turbo decoder in field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. A simplified and efficient implementation of a Turbo decoder with minor performance loss has been proposed. An integer Turbo decoder based on the standard 2’s complem...

In this paper, the receivers with adaptive equalizer and turbo decoder are investigated for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-code division multiple access (OFDM-CDMA) systems in multipath channels. The de-spreading equalizer which combines de-spreading and equalization is used to mitigate the MAI and ISI. The stochastic gradient based LMS algorithm is used as the adaptive algorithm fo...

The Semantic Web provides models and abstractions for the distributed processing of knowledge bases. In Software Engineering endeavors such capabilities are direly needed, for ease of implementation, maintenance, and software analysis.Conversely, software engineering has collected decades of experience in engineering large application frameworks containing both inheritance and aggregation. This...

—In this paper, MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple Output) system based on turbo equalization techniques which LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) codes were outer code and STTC (Space Time Trellis Code) were employed as an inner code are studied. LDPC decoder and STTC decoder are connected through the interleaving and de-interleaving that updates each other's information repeatedly. On the receiver si...
