Abstract:

IEEE Abstract — In this paper, a new upper bound on the minimum distance of turbo codes is derived. The new bound is obtained by construction of an undirected graph which reflects the characteristics of the constituent codes and the interleaver. The resulting expression shows that the minimum distance of a turbo code grows approximately with the base-3 logarithm of the information word length. The new bound is easy to compute, applies to rate k0/n0 constituent encoders, and often improves over existing results. Index Terms — Minimum distance, performance bounds, permutation graphs, turbo codes.
