Binary BCH turbo coding performance: union bound and simulation results

Turbo codes using short binary BCH codes as component codes are investigated. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the turbo codes is evaluated using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. The effects of various concatenated component codes, interleaver size, minimum free-distances, weight-distributions as well as puncturing schemes are investigated using both union-bounding and simulations.
