A Study on Turbo Code Performance Based on AWGN Channel

Abstract:

Turbo codes have a wide range of applications in 3G mobile communications, deep-sea communications, satellite communications and other power constrained fields. In the paper, the Turbo Code Decoding Principle and several major decoding methods are introduced. Simulations of Turbo code performance under different parameters of AWGN channel are made and the effects of the different interleaving length, the number of iterations, and the decoding algorithm to Turbo code performance are also discussed in AWGN channel. Simulation results show that under the same signal-to-noise ratio, the more the number of iterations is, the longer the sequence of information is, and the more excellent decoding algorithm is, the better the performance of Turbo codes is.
