The new coding scheme achieves about 1.0 dB additional coding gain, compared to the general turbo coding scheme at a BER = 10-6, with a frame length of 8192-bit. The system complexity and decoding latency of the new scheme is lower than the HCCC proposed by Divsalar and Pollara (1997) within acceptable performance degradation. Since the bit error-rate of the proposed HCCC can be dramatically reduced by slightly increasing signal-to-noise ratio, the new hybrid concatenated coding scheme is very suitable for those communication environments in which high reliability is important.Read More
