Abstract :
In this letter, we propose and compare some design criteria for the search of good rate-compatible systematic turbo codes (RCPTC) families. The considerations presented by Benedetto et al. to find "best" component encoders for turbo-code construction are extended to find good rate-compatible puncturing patterns leading to codes with promising performances.
