Abstract
Considering the difference between the theoretic correcting capacity and the actual correcting capacity of TPC,on the base of studying the encoding and constructing methods of the TPC,the theoretic correcting capacity and the actual correcting capacity of TPC were analyzed,and the result showed that if the two component codes has the error-correcting capacity of t,the TPC has the error-correcting capacity of(t+1)2+t.An improved iterative decoding algorithm which could be used after usual decoding algorithms to improve the decoding performance was put forward,and it can correct some errors which usual decoding algorithms could detect but could not correct.The simulation result showed that the improved iterative decoding algorithm could lower the BER,especially when the SNR was low.
