Turbo decoder were shown to achieve performance within 0.7㏈ of the Shannon capacity limit. This constituted a significant gain in power efficiency over other coding techniques known at the time. In this paper, Turbo code with constraint length K＝4, code rate 1/3, frame size 196bits(6 tail bits), 20㎳ frame and 6bit MAP decoder is implemented using VHDL. The designed Turbo code is used for voice service. Interactions of the system are used to attain large performance improvements.

The SOVA, which produces the soft decision value, can be used as a sub-optimum solution for concatenated codes such as turbo codes, since it is computationally efficient compared with the optimum MAP algorithm. In this paper, we propose an efficient implementation of the SOVA used for decoding turbo codes, by reducing the number of calculations for soft decision values and trace-back operations. In order to utilize the memory efficiently, the whole block of turbo codes is divided into several sub-blocks in the proposed algorithm. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm requires less computation than the conventional algorithm, while providing the same overall performance.

A multi-stage turbo equalization scheme based on the bit-level combining (BLC) is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). In the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme, the minimum mean-square-error equalizer at each iteration calculates the extrinsic log-likelihood ratios for the transmitted bits in a subpacket and the subpackets are sequentially replaced at each iteration according to the HARQ rounds of received subpackets. Therefore, a number of iterations are executed for different subpackets received at several HARQ rounds, and the transmitted bits received at the previous HARQ rounds as well as the current HARQ round can be estimated from the combined information up to the current HARQ round. In addition, the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme has the same computational complexity as the conventional bit-level combining based turbo equalization scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme outperforms the conventional BLC based turbo equalization scheme for MIMO systems with HARQ.

Turbo equalizer system is a method which can improve performance through a combination of the equalizer and decoder. The turbo equalizer has been mainly used a MAP equalizer. However, this turbo equalizer has a disadvantage that has a high computational complexity. To overcome the disadvantage and to improve efficiency of bandwidth, blind turbo equalization system is proposed. blind turbo equalization system has low equalization performance than conventional turbo equalization system. To circumvent this problem, we adapt the beamforming method based on the MUSIC algorithm. we confirmed that the proposed method improves the equalization performance.

Turbo code has been adopted in the 3GPP standard, since its performance is very close to the Shannon limit. However, the turbo decoder requires a lot of computations and the amount of the memory increases as the block size of turbo codes becomes larger. In order to reduce the complexity of the turbo decoder, the Log-MAP, the Max-Log-MAP and the sliding window algorithm have been proposed. In this paper, the performance of turbo codes adopted in the 3GPP standard is analyzed by using the floating point and the fixed point implementation. The efficient decoding method is also proposed. It is shown that the BER performance of the proposed method is close to that of the Log-MAP algorithm.

In this paper, we propose performance improvement algorithm for high data rate wireless personal area network (HDR-WPAN) system using turbo code. Turbo code increase detection delay and computation according to iterate counts. However, turbo code has been shown to be very close th the Shanon limit, can be classified as a block-based error correction code. Turbo code has gain about E$_b$/N$_o$=5.8dB at 10$^{-4}$ in the multipath indoor channel. In the result, HDR-WPAN system adopted turbo code has reliable communication by low power.

Differential spatial modulation uses the antenna index to transmit information, which improves the spectral efficiency, and completely bypasses any channel side information in the recommended setting. A generalized distributed multiple turbo coded-cooperative differential spatial modulation based on distributed multiple turbo code is put forward and its performances in Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed. The generalized distributed multiple turbo coded-cooperative differential spatial modulation scheme is a coded-cooperation communication scheme, in which we proposed a new joint parallel iterative decoding method. Moreover, the code matched interleaver is considered to be the best choice for the generalized multiple turbo coded-cooperative differential spatial modulation schemes, which is the key factor of turbo code. Monte Carlo simulated results show that the proposed cooperative differential spatial modulation scheme is better than the corresponding non-cooperative scheme over Rayleigh fading channels in multiple input and output communication system under the same conditions. In addition, the simulation results show that the code matched interleaver scheme gets a better diversity gain as compared to the random interleaver.

A novel turbo coded modulation scheme, called turbo-APPM, for deep space optical communications is constructed. The constructed turbo-APPM is a serial concatenations of turbo codes, an accumulator and a pulse position modulation (PPM), where turbo codes act as an outer code while the accumulator and the PPM act together as an inner code. The generator polynomial and the puncturing rule for generating turbo codes are chosen to show the low bit error rate. At the receiver, the joint decoding is performed by exchanging soft information iteratively between the inner decoder and the outer decoder. In the outer decoder, a local iterative decoding for turbo codes is conducted before transferring soft information to the inner decoder. Poisson distribution is used to model the deep space optical channel. It is shown by simulations that the constructed turbo-APPM provides coding gains over all previously proposed schemes such as LDPC-APPM, RS-PPM and SCPPM.

In this paper, we propose and observe the Adaptive Modulation system with optimal Turbo Coded V-BLAST (Vertical-Bell-lab Layered Space-Time) technique that is applied the extrinsic information from MAP (Maximum A Posteriori) Decoder with Iterative Decoding to use as a priori probability in two decoding procedures of V-BLAST: ordering and slicing. Also, comparing with the Adaptive Modulation system using conventional Turbo Coded V-BLAST technique that is simply combined V-BLAST with Turbo Coding scheme, we observe how much throughput performance has been improved. As a result of simulation, in the Adaptive Modulation systems with several Turbo Coded V-BLAST techniques, the optimal Turbo Coded V-BLAST technique has higher throughput gain than the conventional Turbo Coded V-BLAST technique. Especially, the results show that the proposed scheme achieves the gain of 1.5 dB SNR compared to the conventional system at 2.5 Mbps throughput.

Mobile mobility and data reliability should be guaranteed as well as amounts of data services are essential in the era of smart media. In order to improve the reliability of high-speed data, strong channel coding and modulation techniques are required. In this paper, the structure of Turbo TCM decoder, applying high-order modulation techniques and the DPSAM method which improves performances in time-selective fading channels in the case of burst errors are suggested through the optimal decoding method and iteration decoding so as to improve bandwidth efficiency in Turbo Codes with excellent encoding gain. The proposed method in comparison with the existing method is that 3dB is superior in case that BER is $10^{-2}$ and the number of iterations is 3. In addition, the function is improved at approximately 6dB in case that BER is $10^{-3}$ and the number of iterations is 7. The proposed method requires additional bandwidth; however, the bandwidth loss can be overcome through Turbo TCM technology on the additional bit rate from the bandwidth loss.
