A new method to estimate asymptomatic performance of turbo coded modulations over fading channels
Résumé
This paper presents an original method to estimate the asymptotic performance of bit-interleaved turbo coded modu- lations over slow-fading Rayleigh channels. It is based on the so- called Error Impulse Method to estimate the distance spectrum of the turbo code and, consequently, does not need any information about the component codes or the interleaver. This method can be applied to any digital modulation and spectral efficiency and pro- vides an efficient tool for the practical performance prediction of such transmission schemes at very low error rates
