Abstract

The performance of nonbinary BTC with QPSK modulation over AWGN channel is studied. The most widely used nonbinary code is Reed-Solomon (RS) code, which has the maximum distance separable (MDS) property. A single error-correcting RS component code to construct RS product codes is proposed. The so constructed RS product codes can achieve reliable transmission from Shannon limit using QPSK modulation over AWGN channel with block size almost three times smaller than that of BCH-BTC of similar code rate. The turbo decoder decodes the resulting code.
