Turbo Codes Extended with Outer BCH Code

    Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

    Abstract

    The "error floor" observed in several simulations with the turbo codes is verified by calculation of an upper bound to the bit error rate for the ensemble of all interleavers. Also an easy way to calculate the weight enumerator used in this bound is presented. An extended coding scheme is proposed including an outer BCH code correcting a few bit errors.
