  • Abstract
    An optimal interleaving between two component encoders of a turbo-code is proposed. For any real constructable interleaver the optimality criterion is given. For component codes (CC) with known weight distribution (WD) the WD of the turbo-code with perfect interleaving is calculated. As CC´s the random codes and terminated convolutional codes are considered. It is shown that the often observed “break” in the performance curves for turbo-codes is a result of their “broken” WD
