Abstract

ABSTRACT
A class of powerful error-correcting codes called parallel concatenated codes, or turbo
codes, have performance superior than all other coding techniques. Turbo codes have
been shown to achieve bit error rate performance close to Shannon's limit.
In this paper, based on random puncturing of non-systematic bits of low rate turbo
codes, we derive an analytical performance bound for high rate parallel concatenated
turbo codes. The new performance bound calculations and evaluations have been
investigated and compared with the simulation results.
