Very simple algorithmic permutation:
i = 0, …, N-1, j = 0, ...N-1
level 1: if j mod. 2 = 0, let (A,B) = (B,A) (invert the couple)
• No ROM
level 2:
-
if j mod. 4 = 0, then P = 0;
-
if j mod. 4 = 1, then P = N/2 + P1;
-
if j mod. 4 = 2, then P = P2;
-
if j mod. 4 = 3, then P = N/2 + P3.
• Quasi-regular (no routing issue)
• Versatility
• Inherent parallelism
i = P0*j + P +1 mod. N

Show the multiple benefits of TCs for 802.11n standard
Overview of duo-binary TCs
Comparison between TC and .11a Convolutional Code
High Flexibility
Complexity
• Properties of Turbo Codes (TCs)
– Rely on soft iterative decoding to achieve high coding gains
– Good performance, near channel capacity for long blocks
– Easy adaptation in the standard frame
• (easy block size adaptation to the MAC layer)
– Well controlled hardware development and complexity
– TC advantages led to recent adoption in standards

Duo-Binary Turbo Code
• Duo-binary input:
– Reduction of Latency & Complexity (compared to UMTS TCs)
– Complexity per decoded bit is 35 % lower than binary UMTS TCs.
– Better convergence in the iterative decoding process
• Circular Recursive Systematic Codes
– Constituent codes
– No trellis termination overhead!
• Original permuter scheme
– Larger minimum distance
– Better asymptotic performance

Flexibility
• All Coding Rates possible (no limitations)
• Same encoder/decoder for:
– any coding rate via simple puncturing adaptation
– different block sizes via adjusting permutation parameters
• 4 parameters are used per block size to define an interleaver
• Higher PHY data rates enabled with TCs:
– High coding gains over 802.11a CC ( =>lower PER)
– More efficient transmission modes enabled more often.
• Combination with higher-order constellations
• Better system efficiency
– ARQ algorithm used less frequently

Conclusions
• Mature, stable, well established and implemented
• Multiple Patents, but well defined licensing
– All other advanced FECs also have patents
• Complexity:
– Show 35% decrease in complexity per decoded bit over UMTS TCs
– Performance is slightly better than UMTS TCs
• Significant performance gain over .11a CC:
– 3.5 - 4 dB on AWGN channel
– 3 dB on 802.11n channel models
