Performance of Turbo Code with Different Parameters

Abstract

Turbo codes are one of error correction coding where the errors which may be added into the transmission data through a communication channel can be detected and corrected, these codes provided for long codewords with decoding complexity. Turbo code is one of the concatenated codes connected in serial or in parallel for transmission data with great throughput and achieve near Shannon limit. This paper presents the performance of turbo code with different parameters such as (number of iteration, type of decoding techniques, length of code, rate, generator polynomial and type of channel) get the Bit Error Rate (BER) for each case, then compare the results to specify the parameters which give the optimum performance of this code. The system is simulated by using MATLAB R2016b program.
