본 논문은 기존 블록 터보 부호의 SISO(Soft-input Soft-output) 기반 반복 복호 알고리즘의 일반화 및 활용에 대한 연구를 다루고 있다. R. M. Pyndiah는 AWGN 채널(Additive White Gaussian Noise Channel)에서 2차원 Linear Block Code(선형 블록 부호, LBC) 결합으로 구성된 Product 부호의 SISO 반복 복호 방식을 제안했으며, 이를 블록 터보 부호라 하였다. 블록 터보 부호의 SISO 복호방식은 SIHO(Soft-input Hard-output) 복호 방식인 Chase 알고리즘의 부호 판정을 기반으로 연판정 정보를 생성 후 전달하여 반복적인 복호를 수행한다. 블록 터보 부호는 AWGN 채널에서 높은 Code-rate(부호율)의 Product 부호에 대해 적은 SISO 복호 반복만으로도 샤논 한계에 근접하는 우수한 성능을 보여준다. 본 논문에서는 BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) 변조와 AWGN 채널 전송을 가정한 기존 블록 터보 부호 복호 알고리즘을 채널 출력의 LLR(Log-likelihood Ratio)에 기반한 알고리즘으로 일반화하고, LDPC(Low-density Parity Check) 부호와 블록 터보 부호의 직렬 결합 구조에서 일반화된 알고리즘 활용 예를 제시한다.

This paper presents an efficient carrier recovery algorithm combined with a turbo-coding technique in a mobile communication system. By using a block turbo code made up of independently decodable block codes, we can efficiently recover the fast time-varying carrier phase as well as correct channel errors. Our simulation results reveal that the proposed scheme can accommodate mobiles with high speed, and at the same time can reduce the number of iterations to lock the phase.

Turbo codes that have attracted a great attention in recent years are applied to wireless communication networks that require variable quality of service and transmit over unknown fading channel. A MAP decoder is the constituent of turbo decoder. In this paper, we propose a high speed architecture of MAP decoder and a new normalization technique, In conclusion, this paper presents the efficient implementation of serial block MAP decoder for turbo codes.

In this paper, we propose a design of the layered coding with block turbo codes. The proposed scheme can be used efficiently for multimedia broadcasting and multicasting services by adaptive selection of a modulation and coding scheme at a receiver. This paper demonstrates various design examples of the layered coding using rate compatible block turbo codes.

Turbo codes of long block sizes have been known to show very good performance in an AWGN channel and the turbo code has been strongly recommended as error correction code for IMT-2000 in 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project). Recently, turbo codes of short block sizes suitable for real time communication systems have attracted a lot of attention. Thus, in this paper we consider the turbo code of 1/3 code rate and short frame size of 192 bits in ITU-R channel model. We analyzed the performance of W-CDMA systems of 10MHz bandwidths employing RAKE receiver with not only MRC diversity but also turbo code.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of W-CDMA systems using turbo code in the wideband multipath channel. The strength of each multipath component is assumed to be Rayleigh distributed. Turbo codes of long block sizes have been known to show very good performance in a AWGN channel. Recently, turbo codes of short block sizes suitable for real time communication systems have attracted a lot of attention. Thus, in this paper we consider the turbo code of 1/3 code rate and short frame size of 192 bits in wideband mobile multipath channel. We analyze the performance of W-CDMA systems with 10MHz bandwidths in the case of employing RAKE receiver with not only MRC diversity but also turbo code.

Turbo code를 비롯한 concatenated code를 복호하기 위한 알고리즘 중에서 SOVA(soft output Viterbi algorithm)는 최적의 MAP(maximum a posteriori) 알고리즘이나 준최적인 Max-Log-MAP 알고리즘에 비해서 성능은 다소 떨어지는 반면에 계산량이 가장 적은 알고리즘이다. 본 논문에서는 SOVA 구현을 위한 soft decision 값을 갖는 출력 계산과 trace-back 연산을 모든 competing path에 대해서 동시에 진행함으로써 복호 시간을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 전체 블록을 부블럭으로 나누어서 제안하는 알고리즘을 적용하여 memory를 효율적으로 사용하는 기법을 제안한다. 3GPP 표준에서 사용되는 turbo code를 이용한 성능분석 결과 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존의 SOVA 구현 기법과 동일한 결과를 보이면서 65%∼75% 정도의 계산량 만을 필요로 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper introduces an efficient iterative decoding method for high-dimensional block turbo codes. To improve the decoding performance, we modified the soft decision Viterbi decoding algorithm, which is a trellis-based method. The iteration number can be significantly reduced in the soft output decoding process by applying multiple usage of extrinsic reliability information from all available axes and appropriately normalizing them. Our simulation results reveal that the proposed decoding process needs only about 30% of the iterations required to obtain the same performance with the conventional method at a bit error rate range of $10^{-5}\;to\;10^{-6}$.

Researchers have investigated many upper bound techniques applicable to error probabilities on the maximum likelihood (ML) decoding performance of turbo-like codes and low density parity check (LDPC) codes in recent years for a long codeword block size. This is because it is trivial for a short codeword block size. Previous research efforts, such as the simple bound technique [20] recently proposed, developed upper bounds for LDPC codes and turbo-like codes using ensemble codes or the uniformly interleaved assumption. This assumption bounds the performance averaged over all ensemble codes or all interleavers. Another previous research effort [21] obtained the upper bound of turbo-like code with a particular interleaver using a truncated union bound which requires information of the minimum Hamming distance and the number of codewords with the minimum Hamming distance. However, it gives the reliable bound only in the region of the error floor where the minimum Hamming distance is dominant, i.e., in the region of high signal-to-noise ratios. Therefore, currently an upper bound on ML decoding performance for turbo-like code with a particular interleaver and LDPC code with a particular parity check matrix cannot be calculated because of heavy complexity so that only average bounds for ensemble codes can be obtained using a uniform interleaver assumption. In this paper, we propose a new bound technique on ML decoding performance for turbo-like code with a particular interleaver and LDPC code with a particular parity check matrix using ML estimated weight distributions and we also show that the practical iterative decoding performance is approximately suboptimal in ML sense because the simulation performance of iterative decoding is worse than the proposed upper bound and no wonder, even worse than ML decoding performance. In order to show this point, we compare the simulation results with the proposed upper bound and previous bounds. The proposed bound technique is based on the simple bound with an approximate weight distribution including several exact smallest distance terms, not with the ensemble distribution or the uniform interleaver assumption. This technique also shows a tighter upper bound than any other previous bound techniques for turbo-like code with a particular interleaver and LDPC code with a particular parity check matrix.
