Abstract :
The application of turbo codes to environments with impulsive noise, e.g. power line and digital subscriber line communication, but also mobile radio scenarios, is considered. A detector/turbo decoder concept, derived from turbo equalisation, avoiding potential numerical instabilities, is proposed. It is shown that turbo codes facilitate considerable performance improvements.
