Abstract :
We introduce the concept of optimal period interleaver and present an interleaver design method based on optimal period interleavers. Simulation results are presented for turbo codes of memory length 3 using our interleavers. An order of magnitude improvement in bit error rate performance is obtained at high signal-to-noise ratio compared to turbo codes using other conventional interleavers
