Convolutional turbo coding method and device for implementing the coding method

摘要

A method and apparatus for Convolutional Turbo Coding (CTC), and an apparatus for a turbo encoder are provided. The method for CTC includes the steps of encoding information bits A and B using a constituent encoder, and outputting parity sequences Y 1 and W 1 , interleaving the information bits A and B using a CTC interleaver to obtain information bits C and D, and encoding the interleaved information bits C and D using the constituent encoder to obtain parity sequences Y 2 and W 2 , interleaving the information bits A and B, the parity sequences Y 1 and W 1 and the parity sequences Y 2 and W 2 , respectively, wherein the bits in at least one of a bit group constituted of the information bits A and B, a bit group constituted of the sequences Y 1 and W 1 , and a bit group constituted of the sequences Y 2 and W 2 are alternately mapped to bits of constellation points with high reliability and low reliability and puncturing the interleaving result to obtain the encoded bit sequences.
