A turbo code-aided adaptive equalizer for mobile radio communications

We propose to use turbo codes in a code-aided equalizer (Tantikovit et al. 1998) for mobile radio communications. The turbo codes used take advantage of good short interleavers designed by an algorithm developed by Wang et al. (1999) and Qi et al. (1999, 2000). Bit error rate performance in a multipath environment for a frame size equal to 210 bits is presented.
