Abstract
The main aim of this work is to find a way to improve a turbo code performance by designing a new interleaver structure based on the cross entropy (CE). The goal is to compare the performance of the CE method to a more popular interleaver such as the dithered golden interleaver. This study describes the performance of the turbo code – binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modem which was designed at the Instrumentation Division, Centre of Space Techniques. The simulation results are detailed in terms of the optimal solution observed along with the estimated bit-error rate against Eb /N 0. The authors compare the performance of turbo codes for different interleaver sizes and different number of iterations (resulting trade-off curves) assuming two channel types (Gaussian and Rayleigh channels). For the simulated cases of the interleavers, good performance is obtained with the CE interleaver when transmitting data both in short block length (N = 400 bits), and long block length (N = 1024).
