Performance Evaluation of Body Temperature Data Transmission Using Turbo Codes in 4G-LTE

Abstract

The main problem in the telecommunication system, such as 4G-LTE, is transmission error that is occurred due to channel noise and interference. The solution of this problem is using error control coding. Error control coding needs good channel coding in order to have good performance of data transmission. Turbo Codes is channel coding that has the best error detection and correction capability in 4G-LTE technology. One of the potential applications using 4G-LTE communication system is telemedicine systems. This study will evaluate simple data transmission for telemedicine applications in 4G-LTE system, which is body temperature data pattern of blood dengue patient. The result of this study is a recommended minimum SNR value for body temperature data pattern and individual body temperature data transmission.
