Method for using Concatenated Convolutional Turbo Codes in IEEE 802.16a

Tags:
802.11

Overview Turbo codes present a new and very powerful error control technique, which allows communication very close to the channel capacity. Since its discovery in 1993, a lot of research has been done in the application of turbo codes in deep space communications, mobile satellite/cellular communications, microwave links, paging, in OFDM and CDMA architectures. This paper proposes a method for using concatenated convolutional Turbo codes for 802.16a. These concatenated convolutional turbo codes are optimized for each constellation size.
