Abstract :
As a powerful coding technique, turbo codes offer great promise for improving the reliability of communication over wireless channels where fading is the main impairment. The performance of turbo codes on the Rice fading channel is explored, considering both the fully-interleaved channels and correlated Rice slow-fading channels
