Abstract :
This letter is concerned with a family of modified turbo-type codes, referred to as turbo-SPC (single parity check) codes. A technique based on the SPC code is introduced to replace puncturing for rate adjustment. A noticeable feature of the proposed scheme is the significantly reduced decoding complexity compared with the standard punctured turbo code. The cost reduction factor becomes more noticeable as rate increases (over ten times for rate →1). The error-rate floor problem known to turbo codes can also be improved using the proposed scheme. For moderate to high rates, performances of about 0.5 dB from the theoretical limits at BER=10-5 have been observed for turbo-SPC codes
