Abstract

This paper investigates multidimensional block turbo codes (BTCs) with trellis-based decoding. Reed-Muller (RM) codes are used as the component codes. The suboptimal decoding algorithm: MAX-log-MAP with a correction term is used for iterative decoding of multidimensional BTCs. This decoding method provides good tradeoff between performance and complexity. Three-dimensional BTCs are used in AWGN channel with BPSK and QPSK modulation. Multidimensional BTCs allow a large number of block sizes and coding rates to meet many practical applications. The fixed point implementation of these codes is also presented. The simulation results show that the coding gain loss with 4-bit quantization for received sequence is negligible.
