A soft-input soft-output APP module for iterative decoding of concatenated codes
Abstract
Concatenated coding schemes consist of the combination of two or more simple constituent encoders and interleavers. The parallel concatenation known as "turbo code" has been shown to yield remarkable coding gains close to theoretical limits, yet admitting a relatively simple iterative decoding technique. The recently proposed serial concatenation of interleaved codes may offer superior performance to that of turbo codes. In both coding schemes, the core of the iterative decoding structure is a soft-input soft-output (SISO) a posteriori probability (APP) module. In this letter, we describe the SISO APP module that updates the APP's corresponding to the input and the output bits, of a code, and show how to embed it into an iterative decoder for a new hybrid concatenation of three codes, to fully exploit the benefits of the proposed SISO APP module.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
