Turbo-DFH Coding and Iterative Decoding

We combine the Turbo codes with differential frequency hopping (DFH) technique and propose a new technique called Turbo-DFH coding. The structures of Turbo-DFH encoder and decoder are given. Taking aim at characteristic of Turbo-DFH system, the modified Log-MAP algorithm is presented and used for iterative decoding of Turbo-DFH decoder. Simulation results show that because the ideas of random coding and iterative decoding are used, the bit error rate (BER) performance of the Turbo-DFH system is better than that of the conventional DFH system.
