Abstract :
This paper proposes a new class of Turbo type codes referred to as Improved Low Complexity Hybrid Turbo Codes (ILCHTC). For low Bit Energy to Noise Ratio (Eb/No)ILCHTC shows better convergence of errors than that of Low Complexity Hybrid Turbo Code (LCHTC). Simulation results show that ILCHTC achieves Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10-5 at Eb/No of 1.9 dB, which is 0.4 dB more than that for Turbo Convolutional Codes (TCC). Analysis of ILCHTC and LCHTC decoders show that the number of computations reduce by a factor of two as compared to the computations of TCC decoder.
