Abstract

Variable length encoded Turbo codes (VL Turbo codes) with constructed joint decoding plane trellis has better decoding performance than the bit-level decoding algorithm. However the plane trellis is complicated, resulting in a high decoding complexity of VL Turbo codes. We construct a space trellis and propose a low-complexity JSCD approach based on VL Turbo codes. Simulation results show that the proposed approach reduces the decoding complexity by 3.8%, compared to the plane trellis, and the gain of Eb/N0 is about 0.2dB at SER=10-4.
