Abstract

Very efficient signaling in radio channels requires the design of very powerful codes having special structure suitable for practical decoding schemes. Powerful codes are obtained by using simple block codes to construct multidimensional product codes. The decoding of multidimensional product codes, using separable symbol-by-symbol maximum a posteriori filters, is described. Simulation results are presented for three-dimensional product codes constructed with the (16,11) extended Hamming code. The extension of the concept to concatenated convolutional codes is given and some simulation results are presented. Potential applications are briefly discussed
