Achievable performance of turbo codes over the correlated Rician channel

The performance of turbo codes is evaluated through analysis and simulation over the Rice multiplicative fading channel. The analysis is conducted extending the results presented by A.M. Viterbi and A.J. Viterbi (see Proc. ISIT'98, p.29, 1998) to the Rice multiplicative fading channel case. Simulation results are obtained using an extended version of the improved Jakes' channel simulator, first presented by M.F. Pop and N.C. Beaulieu (see IEEE Trans. Commun., vol.49, p.699-708, 2001).
