It is well known the fact that turbo codes has better performance as the number of iteration and the interleaver size increases in the AWGN channel environment. However, as the number of iteration and the interleaver size are increased, it is required much delay and computation for iterative decoding. Therefore, it is important to devise an efficient criterion to stop the iteration process and prevent unnecessary computations and decoding delay. In this paper, it proposes the efficient iterative decoding stop criterion using the absolute mean value of LLR difference. It is verifying that the proposal iterative decoding stop criterion can be reduced the average iterative decoding number compared to conventional schemes with a negligible degradation of the error performance.

In this paper, we suggest more precise performance analysis method of turbo interleavers based on two criteria; performance bounds like Union Bound and weight frequency of codewords. In order to present our new method, we employ block, pseudo random, and so-called prime interleavers in compliance of 3GPP standard, respectively. 3GPP complied turbo encoder, decoder, and AWGN channel are implemented by using MATLAB for our performance analysis. According to our analysis, both criteria should be taken into account coincidently to predict the performance of newly designed interleavers.

Frequency selective fading is a limiting factor for transmission rate and performance in high-speed multimedia communications. In this paper, we propose a turbo coded adaptive quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) system for efficient high-speed transmission. By making use of a user-friendly simulation platform of SPW, the proposed turbo coded adaptive QAM system(TuAQAM) is developed and its performance is evaluated in terms of throughput and BER performance. Two channel models having delay spreads of 700ns and 1400ns are created for the simulations. It is shown that the proposed TuAQAM system provides a performance improvement of approximately 3dB and improved throughput for the channel model whose delay spread is 700ns. Similarly, a performance improvement is also achieved for the channel model whose delay spread is 1400ns.

Turbo code, a kind of error correction coding technique, has been used in the field of digital mobile communication system. As the number of iterations increases, it can achieves remarkable BER performance over AWGN channel environment. However, if the number of iterations is increased in the several channel environments, any further iteration results in very little improvement, and requires much delay and computation in proportion to the number of iterations. To solve this problems, it is necessary to device an efficient criterion to stop the iteration process and prevent unnecessary delay and computation. In this paper, it proposes an efficient and simple criterion for stopping the iteration process in turbo decoding. By using sign changed ratio of extrinsic information values in turbo decoder, the proposed algorithm can largely reduce the average number of iterations without BER performance degradation. As a result of simulations, the average number of iterations is reduced by about $12.48%{\sim}22.22%$ compared to CE algorithm and about $20.43%{\sim}54.02%$ compared to SDR algorithm.

Recently, there has been intensive focus on Turbo Product Codes(TPCs) which have low decoding complexity and achieve near-optimum performances at high code-rate. This paper present a parallel algorithm of turbo product codes enable simultaneous decoding of row and column. The row and column decoders operate in parallel and update each other after row and column has been decoded. simulation results show that the performance of proposed parallel turbo code is almost the same as that conventional scheme for several turbo product codes.

In recent digital communication systems, the performance of Turbo Code used as the error correction coding method depends on the interleaver size influencing the free distance determination and iterative decoding algorithms of the turbo decoder. However, some iterations are needed to get a better performance, but these processes require large time delay. Recently, methods of reducing the number of iteration have been studied without degrading original performance. In this paper, the new method combining ME (Mean Estimate) stopping criterion with SDR (sign difference ratio) stopping criterion of previous stopping criteria is proposed, and the fact of compensating each method's missed detection is verified Faster decoding realizes that reducing the number of iterative decoding about 1~2 times by adopting our proposed method into serially concatenation of both decoder. System Environments were assumed DS-CDMA forward link system with intense MAI (multiple access interference).

In this paper a new scheme combining the turbo coder with parallel interference canceller, which effectively mitigates the effects of multiple access interferences and Ralyeigh fades in the DS-CDAM mobile communication systems is proposed Using the Monte-Carlo simulation, the performance of this scheme in terms of the number of users and signal to noise ration under AWGN and Ralyeigh fading environment is analyzed. The results of simulations show that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional CDMA receiver systems over Rayleigh fading as well as AWGN.

In this paper, we introduce three kinds of simplified high-speed decoding algorithms for turbo product decoder. First, A parallel decoder structure, the row and column decoders operate in parallel, is proposed. Second, HAD(Hard Decision Aided) algorithm is used for early-stopping algorithm. Lastly, P-Parallel TPC decoder is a parallel decoding scheme, processing P rows and P columns in parallel instead of decoding one by one as that in the original scheme.

본 논문에서는 다중 경로 레일리 페이딩 채널에서 MC (Multi-Carrier) CDMA 시스템의 BER 성능을 분석하였고, 최근에 가장 강력한 부호화 기법으로 급부상하고 있는 터보 코드를 MC CDMA 시스템에 적용하여 성능 개선 정도를 평가하였다. 성능 해석 결과, 레일리 페이딩 채널에서는 강력한 성능 개선 기법을 적용하지 않는 한 사용자수와 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 값에 관계없이 음성 서비스를 지원하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 터보 코드를 성능 개선 기법으로 적용하면 BER 성능이 매우 개선되고, 사용자 수와 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 값에 관계없이 음성 서비스를 충분히 지원할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 예를 들어 E$_{b}$/N$_{o}$ 가 10 dB이고 사용자 수가 10명인 경우, 터보 코드를 적용함에 의해 BER 성능이 약 5$\times$$10^{-3}$ 정도 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.
