An overview of turbo decoding on fading channels

Öz A review of türbo coding and decoding has been presented in the literatüre [1]. In that paper, türbo coding and decoding on AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) channels has been elaborated. In wireless Communications, a phenomennon called multipath fading is frequently encountered. Therefore, investigation of efficient techniques to tackle with the destructive effects of fading is essential. Turbo coding has been proven as an efficient channel coding technique for AWGN channels. Some of the work found in the literatüre shows that use of türbo codes on fading channels also yields promising results. In this paper, we present an overview of türbo decoding on fading channels.
