This book contains the information on Turbo Code System and suggested modifications to enhance the performance of the system.Research in coding theory has seen many proposals aimed at the construction of powerful codes using block and convolutional codes. Recently, a new forward error control code (FEC) known as Turbo Code is introduced.
This new code combines simple component codes with iterative decoding process.Turbo code is adopted as FEC in 3rd Generation Wireless Communication System (UMTS). The name "Turbo" has been coined in analogy to the Turbo engine principle that brings the...
