Asymptotical analysis of iterative decoding of turbo-codes

Résumé/Abstract :

This is a joint work by K. Sh. Zigangirov, M. Lentmaier and D. V.Truhachev.

We analyse a conventional rate 1/3 turbo-coder, consisting of two parallel rate 1/2 systematic recursive convolutional encoders and an interleaver (scrambler). Analysis consists of two parts. First, we study the problem of optimal interleaver choice, i.e., construction of an interleaver whose graph has maximal length of the minimal cycle. Particularly, we prove a turbo-code analog of the Gallager-Margulis theorem. Second, we analyse the iterative decoding process assuming that decoder operates on a cycle-free graph. To get analytical results we introduce a two-phase algorithm; the first phase is analysed numerically, the second analytically. We prove existence of iterative limits, i.e., an infimum of signal-to-noise ratios, for which bit error probability increases at least exponentially with the number of iterations. We upperbound these limits for concrete constructions.
