Abstract :
Applying soft-input soft-output iterative decoding allows block product codes (BPCs) to exhibit error-correcting capability close to that of convolutional code-based turbo codes. However, finding the best BPC design for a given target code size can be difficult. This paper analyzes BPC performance using weight distribution and union bounds, which leads to a systematic BPC design procedure. The analysis is supported by simulations and examples.
