Synopsis

This book grew out of our research, industry consulting and con­ tinuing education courses. Turbo coding initially seemed to belong to a restricted research area, while now has become a part of the mainstream telecommu­ nication theory and practice. The turbo decoding principles have found widespread applications not only in error control, but in de­ tection, interference suppression and equalization. Intended for use by advanced students and professional engi­ neers, involved in coding and telecommunication research, the book includes both basic and advanced material. The chapters are se­ quenced so that the knowledge is acquired in a logical and progres­ sive way. The algorithm descriptions and analysis are supported by examples throughout the book. Performance evaluations of the presented algorithms are carried out both analytically and by sim­ ulations. Basic material included in the book has been taught to students and practicing professionals over the last four years in the form of senior undergraduate or graduate courses, lecture series and short continuing education courses.

About this title

Synopsis

Turbo coding principles have found widespread applications in information theory and, in part, have entered into mainstream telecommunication theory and practice. These principles are used in error control, detection, interference suppression, equalization, and other communications-related areas. "Turbo Codes: Principles and Applications" is intended for use by advanced level students and professional engineers involved in coding and telecommunication research. The material is organized into a coherent framework, starting with basic concepts of block and convolutional coding, and gradually increasing in a logical and progressive manner to more advanced material, including applications. All algorithms are fully described and supported by examples, and evaluations of their performance are carried out both analytically and by simulations.The book includes new and original material on a bidirectional SOVA decoding algorithm, design of turbo codes based on the distance spectrum, design of code-matched interleavers, performance on fading channels, and a turbo trellis code modulation scheme.

Trellis-based and iterative decoding algorithms, along with a comparison of algorithms based on their performance and complexity, are discussed. Various practical aspects of turbo coding, such as interleaver design, turbo codes on fading channels, and turbo trellis-coded modulation, are presented. "Turbo Codes: Principles and Applications" will be especially useful to practicing communications engineers, researchers, and advanced level students who are designing turbo coding systems, including encoder/decoder and interleavers, and carrying out performance analysis and sensitivity studies.
