Compared with the original GMD decoding by Forney (1966), this decoding algorithm provides better error performance by increasing the number of iterations of erasure and error correction moderately. To reduce the number of iterations, we derive new effective sufficient conditions on the optimality of decoded codewords.","PeriodicalId":108752,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (Cat.

A rate p:q block encoder is a dataword-to-codeword assignment from 2/sup p/ p-bit datawords to 2/sup p/ q-bit codewords, and the corresponding block decoder is the inverse of the encoder. We propose efficient heuristic computer algorithms (i) to eliminate the excess codewords; and (ii) to construct low hardware complexity block encoders/decoders. Constructing low-complexity encoder/decoders for very high rate codes is of immense economical value-as these codes may be implemented in mass-market magnetic recording systems. For several practical constraints, block encoders/decoders generated using the proposed algorithms are comparable in complexity to human-generated encoders/decoders, but are significantly simpler than lexicographical encoders/decoders.","PeriodicalId":108752,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (Cat.

We are specifically addressing R=1/3 parallel-concatenated codes using systematic, recursive constituent codes. Myth: Turbo codes consisting of constituent codes with large memory order (i.e., a large number of trellis states) are not as effective as the original Berrou-Glavieux-Thitimajshima turbo code (1993) in the waterfall region of small signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). This myth is contradicted by a turbo code whose recursive constituent codes have 256 states. Decoding this turbo code with the BCJR APP decoder gives bit-error-rate (BER) and frame-error-rate (FER) performance better than the original (Berrou) turbocode at all SNRs.","PeriodicalId":108752,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (Cat.
