Turbo decoding using convolutional self doubly orthogonal codes

In this paper we present a novel iterative error control technique which circumvents both the complexity and latency shortcomings of the usual turbo codes. It differs from usual turbo coding techniques as it uses a single encoder (hence with no interleaver at the encoding process) and a single decoder. The technique is based on a novel class of orthogonal threshold decodable codes called convolutional self doubly orthogonal codes (CSO/sup 2/C).
