Design of Turbo Codes over GF(q) with q-ary Orthogonal Modulation
Yongsang Kim, Kyungwhoon Cheun, Kyeongcheol Yang, Min Sagong · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 2011
A very simple design rule for parallel concatenated Turbo codes over GF(q) with q-ary orthogonal modulation is proposed. Unlike previously proposed exhaustive search methods, the proposed design rule allows straightforward and systematic code designs for any value of q ≥ 2 and any constraint length greater than 2.
