  6. The TCs used in practice France Telecom

  7. The turbo code proposed for all sizes, all coding rates 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) 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. i = P0*j + P +1 mod. N • No ROM • Quasi-regular (no routing issue) • Versatility • Inherent parallelism France Telecom

  8. Decoding Max-Log-MAP algorithm Sliding window + inherent parallelism, easy connectivity (quasi-regular permutation) France Telecom

  9. Decoding complexity Useful rate: 100 Mbps with 8 iterations 5-bit quantization (data and extrinsic) • Gates • 164,000 @ Clock = 100 Mhz • 82,000 @ Clock = 200 Mhz • 54,000 @ Clock = 400 Mhz RAM Data input buffer + 8.5xk for extrinsic information + 4000 for sliding window (example: 72,000 bits for 1000-byte block) For 0.18m CMOS No ROM Duo-binary TC decoders are already available from several providers (iCoding Tech., TurboConcept, ECC, Xilinx, Altera, …) France Telecom

  11. Introduction • Purpose • 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 France Telecom

  12. Duo-Binary Turbo Code France Telecom

  13. 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 France Telecom

  14. # of Iterations vs. Performance The number of iterations can be adjusted for better performance – complexity trade-off France Telecom

  15. Simulation Environment • Both Turbo Codes and 802.11a CCs simulated • Simulation chain based on 802.11a PHY model • SISO configuration • CC59 and CC67 followed • Simulated Channels: AWGN, models B, D, E • No PHY impairments • Packet size of 1000 bytes. • Minimum of 100 packet errors • Assume perfect channel estimation & synchronization • Turbo Code settings: • 8-state Duo-Binary Convolutional Turbo Codes • Max-Log-MAP decoding • 8 iterations France Telecom

  16. Performance: AWGN 3.5-4 dB gain over 802.11a CC France Telecom

  17. Performance: model B ~3 dB gain over 802.11a CC France Telecom

  18. Performance: model D ~3 dB gain over 802.11a CC France Telecom

  19. Performance: model E ~3 dB gain over 802.11a CC France Telecom

  20. 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 France Telecom

  21. 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 betterthan UMTS TCs • Significant performance gain over .11a CC: • 3.5 - 4 dB on AWGN channel • 3 dB on 802.11n channel models France Telecom
