The performance of a turbo code with short block length depends critically on the interleaver
design. There are two major criteria in the design of an interleaver: the distance spectrum of …

We present a successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme for a multicarrier (MC)
direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system, using band-limited …

Future mobile and wireless communication networks require flexible modem architectures to
support seamless services between different network standards. Hence, a common …

Recently, a coding scheme termed turbo-codes was proposed which achieves results very
close to the Shannon-limit. The encoding and decoding of these codes is reviewed. We …

The performance of a turbo code can be severely degraded if no trellis termination is
employed. This paper investigates the implications of the choice of trellis termination method …

A method of creating tail-biting recursive systematic convolutional and turbo codes, and the
associated encoders, are described herein. According to the method, symbols from the set of …

Iterative methods for concatenated coding and modulation in digital communication systems
are considered. It is assumed that the code and modulation can be described by finite-state …

In this paper, we demonstrate that the previously proposed arrangements of serially
concatenated codes have extrinsic-information-transfer (EXIT) functions that intersect each …
