Implementation of Turbo Code Encoding and Decoding

In this document, I present an implementation method for turbo code encoding and decoding. This approach significantly enhances communication system performance and is widely applied in wireless and digital communications. Turbo codes, as forward error correction techniques, enable error detection and correction during channel transmission, ensuring more reliable data transfer. The encoding process involves dividing input data into multiple sub-blocks, followed by interleaving and iterative encoding operations. In code implementation, this typically utilizes recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) encoders and pseudo-random interleavers. The decoding process performs reverse operations through iterative decoding algorithms like the MAP (Maximum A Posteriori) or Log-MAP algorithm, which employs soft-input soft-output (SISO) decoders with exchange of extrinsic information between component decoders. By implementing turbo code encoding and decoding, communication systems achieve improved bit error rate (BER) performance, resulting in more stable and reliable data transmission. Key implementation considerations include proper termination of trellis structures, optimization of iteration counts, and efficient memory management for interleaver patterns. I hope this document proves helpful for your understanding and implementation!
