  3. Turbo Codes: Iterative FEC for 802.11n • Powerful error correcting codes are considered in 802.11n discussions • Turbo Codes, and more specifically Duo-Binary Turbo Codes [4], the latest generation of convolutional turbo codes, have been introduced in contribution IEEE 802.11-04/003 [1] at the last meeting • The numerous advantages of these Turbo Codes, including the large performance gains enabled and their high flexibility, have been demonstrated in this previous contribution. This presentation will focus on the performance of these Turbo Codes in 802.11a PHY reference model.

  4. Duo-Binary Turbo Codes • Very good performance: better than LDPC codes - for any code rate - for any block size <10000 bits - for any BER >10-9 - for any associated modulation • Highly flexible solution: Duo-Binary Turbo Codes adjust easily to any code rate and block size, resulting in a better granularity

  5. Simulation assumptions • Simulation chain based on 802.11a PHY model • Perfect channel estimation, synchronization and front end (SISO configuration) • Channels - AWGN channel - BRAN A channel

  6. Simulation Assumptions • The turbo code and the 802.11a convolutional code both simulated, with packet size 200 bytes, code rates ½ and ¾ • Turbo Codes - 8-state Duo-Binary Convolutional Turbo Codes - Max-Log-MAP decoding, 8 iterations • Convolutional Code - Viterbi decoding algorithm

  7. Simulation Results: AWGN 2 to 2.5 dB gain at PER 1%

  8. Simulation Results: BRAN A 1.8 to 2.4 dB gain at PER 1%

  9. Turbo Codes and MIMO • MIMO techniques employed: Space-Time Block Coding (2x1) Alamouti scheme • Channel model: uncorrelated Rayleigh fading channels

  10. Simulation results: STBC 2x1

  11. Conclusions • Turbo Codes, and more specifically Duo-Binary Turbo Codes, provide large performance gains in 802.11a context, as well as combined with MIMO techniques • Their flexibility is an important advantage, allowing a finer granularity in block size and coding rate (cf [1]) • Incorporated in a complete system, these Turbo Codes will represent a significant advantage to achieve 802.11n goals.
