Abstract :
We consider the estimation of Viterbi decoder performance for convolutional codes with interleaving over fading channels subject to practical power control algorithms. Given a received vector of (time-varying) Eb/N0 values for a frame, we compute the error probability and effective Eb/N0 for that frame, where the latter is defined as the Eb/N0 on an AWGN channel that results in the same frame error rate. We validate our analysis using the R=1/3 convolutional code and interleaver used on the IS-95 CDMA reverse channel
