Concatenated error correction code

A class of powerful error-correcting codes called parallel concatenated codes, or turbo codes, have performance superior than all other coding techniques.Turbo codes have been shown to achieve bit error rate performance close to Shannon's limit.In this paper, based on random puncturing of non-systematic bits of low rate turbo codes, we derive an analytical performance bound for high rate parallel concatenated turbo codes.The new performance bound calculations and evaluations have been investigated and compared with the simulation results.
