Certain binary asymmetric channels, such as Z-channels in which one of the two crossover probabilities is zero, demand optimal ones densities different from 50%. Some broadcast channels, such as broadcast binary symmetric channels (BBSC) where each component channel is a binary symmetric channel, also require a non-uniform input distribution due to the superposition coding scheme, which is known to achieve the boundary of capacity region. This paper presents a systematic technique for designing nonlinear turbo codes that are able to support ones densities different from 50%. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our design technique, we design and simulate nonlinear turbo codes for the Z-channel and the BBSC. The best nonlinear turbo code is less than 0.02 bits from capacity.

Partially information coupled turbo codes (PIC-TCs) is a class of spatially coupled turbo codes that can approach the BEC capacity while keeping the encoding and decoding architectures of the underlying component codes unchanged. However, PIC-TCs hav e significant rate loss compared to its component rate-1/3 turbo code, and the rate loss increases with the coupling ratio. To absorb the rate loss, in this paper, we propose the partially information coupled duo-binary turbo codes (PIC-dTCs). Given a rate-1/3 turbo code as the benchmark, we construct a duo-binary turbo code by introducing one extra input to the benchmark code. Then, parts of the information sequence from the original input are coupled to the extra input of the succeeding code blocks. By looking into the graph model of PIC-dTC ensembles, we derive the exact density evolution equations of the PIC-dTC ensembles, and compute their belief propagation decoding thresholds on the binary erasure channel. Simulation results verify the correctness of our theoretical analysis, and also show significant error performance improvement over the uncoupled rate-1/3 turbo codes and existing designs of spatially coupled turbo codes.
In this paper, we investigate in detail the performance of turbo codes in quasi-static fading channels both with and without antenna diversity. First, we develop a simple and accurate analytic technique to evaluate the performance of turbo codes in q uasi-static fading channels. The proposed analytic technique relates the frame error rate of a turbo code to the iterative decoder convergence threshold, rather than to the turbo code distance spectrum. Subsequently, we compare the performance of various turbo codes in quasi-static fading channels. We show that, in contrast to the situation in the AWGN channel, turbo codes with different interleaver sizes or turbo codes based on RSC codes with different constraint lengths and generator polynomials exhibit identical performance. Moreover, we also compare the performance of turbo codes and convolutional codes in quasi-static fading channels under the condition of identical decoding complexity. In particular, we show that turbo codes do not outperform convolutional codes in quasi-static fading channels with no antenna diversity; and that turbo codes only outperform convolutional codes in quasi-static fading channels with antenna diversity.
Spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) have been shown to have excellent decoding thresholds due to the threshold saturation effect. Furthermore, even for moderate block lengths, simulation results demonstrate very good bit error rate performanc e (BER) in the waterfall region. In this paper, we discuss the effect of spatial coupling on the performance of TCs in the finite block-length regime. We investigate the effect of coupling on the error-floor performance of SC-TCs by establishing conditions under which spatial coupling either preserves or improves the minimum distance of TCs. This allows us to investigate the error-floor performance of SC-TCs by performing a weight enumerator function (WEF) analysis of the corresponding uncoupled ensembles. While uncoupled TC ensembles with close-to-capacity performance exhibit a high error floor, our results show that SC-TCs can simultaneously approach capacity and achieve very low error floor.
This work proposes a tractable estimation of the maximum a posteriori (MAP) threshold of various families of sparse-graph code ensembles, by using an approximation for the extended belief propagation generalized extrinsic information transfer (EBP-GE XIT) function, first proposed by Measson et al. We consider the transmission over non-binary complex-input additive white Gaussian noise channel and extend the existing results to obtain an expression for the GEXIT function. We estimate the MAP threshold by applying the Maxwell construction to the obtained approximate EBP-GEXIT charts for various families of low-density parity-check (LDPC), generalized LDPC, doubly generalized LDPC, and serially concatenated turbo codes (SC-TC). When codewords of SC-TC are modulated using Gray mapping, we also explore where the spatially-coupled belief propagation (BP) threshold is located with respect to the previously computed MAP threshold. Numerical results indicate that the BP threshold of the spatially-coupled SC-TC does saturate to the MAP threshold obtained via EBP-GEXIT chart.
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes combined with convolutional codes yield a powerful concatenated code that can be efficiently decoded using list decoding. To help design such systems, this paper presents an efficient algorithm for identifying the distance-spectrum-optimal (DSO) CRC polynomial for a given tail-biting convolutional code (TBCC) when the target undetected error rate (UER) is small. Lou et al. found that the DSO CRC design for a given zero-terminated convolutional code under low UER is equivalent to maximizing the undetected minimum distance (the minimum distance of the concatenated code). This paper applies the same principle to design the DSO CRC for a given TBCC under low target UER. Our algorithm is based on partitioning the tail-biting trellis into several disjoint sets of tail-biting paths that are closed under cyclic shifts. This paper shows that the tail-biting path in each set can be constructed by concatenating the irreducible error events (IEEs) and circularly shifting the resultant path. This motivates an efficient collection algorithm that aims at gathering IEEs, and a search algorithm that reconstructs the full list of error events with bounded distance of interest, which can be used to find the DSO CRC. Simulation results show that DSO CRCs can significantly outperform suboptimal CRCs in the low UER regime.
