Abstract
We define and apply a new algorithm called the iterative Viterbi
decoding algorithm (IVA) to decode a high-rate parity-concatenated TCM
system in which a trellis code is used as the inner code and a simple
parity-check code is used as the outer code. With trellis shaping, the
IVA can achieve a performance 1.25 dB away from the Shannon limit at a
BER of 3×10-5 with low complexity. By augmenting the
system with a binary BCH code, the error floor can be reduced to
10-9 with very little additional cost
