Optimization of three-dimensional turbo code using novel symbiotic organism search algorithm

Error control coding scheme improves adequate redundancy in communication system. Turbo Code (TC) and its elevated form like 3-Dimensional Turbo Code (3D-TC) are considered as important channel coding scheme, which tend to Shannon limit. In the meantime, substantial development in the field of intelligent computational technique has motivated the researchers to apply this algorithm in various engineering problem in an efficient manner. In this paper, Modified Symbiotic Organisms Search (MSOS) algorithm has been applied to progress the performance of the 3D-TC. The Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the optimized 3D-TC has also been compared with three different structures of the TCs namely, the 8-state Duo Binary Turbo Code (DB-TC) of the Digital Video Broadcasting Return Channel via Satellite standard (DVB-RCS), Serially Concatenated Convolution Turbo Code (SCCTC) and 3D-TC.
