Simulation of Serial Concatenated Convolutional Coded Turbo Decoder System

Abstract

The modern world has a large reliance upon the quick, accurate transfer of information; it is involved in almost every facet of society. For this transfer to be achieved it requires the information to be coded. This paper will look at the development of a simulation of a SCCC turbo code system, one of the first of these codes to approach the theoretical data transfer limit. It will provide a background on the underlying theories and a breakdown of the development procedure of the simulation. A look at incremental systems developed in the process will show the potential coding gains that come from error control coding.
