Abstract :
In this paper we consider the use of q-ary turbo codes on abstract q-ary channels. Simulations show that our 16-ary codes perform well on the q-ary symmetric channel. This validates their suitability as outer codes in non-binary applications. We also compare with the performance of same codes on conventional PSK and QAM modulation, and demonstrate an application of these codes to the insertion/deletion channel.
