  • Abstract
    This paper describes the ways to construct turbo codes using a parallel concatenation of convolutional codes, in order to minimize the effects of flattening. Bit error rates as low as 10-10 may thus be reached by the associated decoder at signal to noise ratios not far from the theoretical limits, for different data block sizes and various coding rates
