Iterative Soft Decoding of Single Parity Check Convolutional Concatenated Code

By establishing a single parity check relationship between convolutional codewords, a concatenated code, termed single parity check convolutional code (SPC-CC), is proposed. By jointly en/decoding the SPC and CC, as well as carefully allocating redundant information between the pair, we can improve BER more promptly during iterative decoding. Each codeword in SPC-CC consists of only one SISO decod...
