Abstract

This paper proposes a carrier phase recovery approach when turbo codes are used. The phase estimation is implemented with the aid of the extrinsic information from the turbo decoder. A series of look-up tables are pre-computed to reduce the computation complexity, and thereby we avoid introducing delay to the decoding. Simulations are carried out both in BPSK and QPSK systems. If the block size is 1024, a phase error up to 82/spl deg/ in a BPSK system, and up to 37/spl deg/ in a QPSK system can be removed completely. Compared with the conventional method, which has separate phase recovery and decoding, this approach exhibits a great improvement. The effect of block size is also considered. The results demonstrate that the longer the block size, the better the performance.
