However, decoding error is inevitable in practical fading channels due to the error-prone feature of radio channels, and the decoding error propagation in DTC scheme will severely degrade the error performance of the relay system. As a result, it is necessary to evaluate the error performance of the DTC scheme in multi-hop relaying wireless systems in practical fading channels. Moreover, the theoretical method of analysis provides an effective tool for obtaining the error performance besides lengthy simulations. In this article, the concept of equivalent signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） of the two-hop relay channel and the method of computing equivalent SNR are developed, and then the upper bound on the bit error probability （BEP） of DTC relay systems is analyzed by use of Turbo code＇s distance spectrum, the concept of uniform interleaver, the limit-before-averaging technique, and the union bound method. Both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are implemented for relay systems with DTC scheme over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels. The results show that the upper bound approaches the simulation results in the medium to high SNR region.展开更多

The puncturing period and puncturing patterns, which have important effect on the performance of punctured turbo codes (PTC), yet have not received complete investigations, are addressed in this paper. Proposes on selecting puncturing period and puncturing patterns are presented. Since puncturing will alter the distance spectrum of turbo codes, the performance of PTC needs further consideration. We derive an analytical upper bound for PTC, based on the assumption of uniform puncturing defined in this paper. Finally, we present some numeric results on the performance of PTC.展开更多
