Main progress in turbo coding/decoding since 1993 • Max-Log-MAP and Max*-Log-MAP algorithms • Sliding window • Duo-binary turbo codes • Circular (tail-biting) encoding • Permutations • Computation or estimation of Minimum Hamming distances (MHDs) • Stopping criterion • Bit-interleaved turbo coded modulation • …
Typical performance Gaussian, Max-Log-MAP algorithm, 8 iterations, 4 or 5 bit-quantization
Classical TC and LDPC R=1/3 R=5/6 R=9/10 Gaussian, 424 bits (53 bytes) (reference: ESA MHOMS project) TC is 16-state
About the Rayleigh channel Duo-binary 8-state TC
The ways we are investigating to reach FERs 10-9 • adopt 16-state duo-binary TCs and try to increase the MHD by 25%,by improving permutations • keep 8-state duo-binary TCs and try to increase the MHD by 100%,by introducing a clever 3rd dimension Example
Adding a rate-1 third dimension Combining parallel and (double) serial concatenation 1- 1- Pre-existing turbo encoder • Patch: • a parallel to serial (P/S) multiplexer • permutation ' • rate-1 post-encoder
Adding the rate-1 third dimension (to duo-binary TC) 1- 1- Pre-existing turbo encoder • Patch: • a parallel to serial (P/S) multiplexer • permutation ' • rate-1 post-encoder
Simulation results (8-state DVB-RCS TC + patch) Max-Log-MAP component algorithm, 5 and 8 iterations
Conclusions • not much left to gain in convergence • MHDs to be increased reasonably • also, practical limits to be determined (Rayleigh) • about complexity, latency, …
