Abstract :
This paper presents a novel coding procedure to correct error bursts generated by impulsive noise corruption in broad-band PLC systems. The coding technique is based on a turbo code structure that uses RS coding and hard decision iterative decoding with erasure process in the decoder. The application of the new coding technique instead of simple RS in the HomePlug 1.0 FEC stage leads to significant improvement in terms of BER.
