Abstract :
The performance of turbo codes using coherent BSPK signaling on Rayleigh fading channels is considered. In regions of low signal-to-noise, performance analysis uses simulations of typical turbo coding systems. For higher signal-to-noise regions beyond simulation capabilities, an average upper bound is used, where the average is over all possible interleaving schemes. Fully-interleaved and exponentially-correlated Rayleigh channels are explored. Furthermore, the design issues relevant to turbo codes are explored for the correlated fading channel
