Title
Simplified LLRs for the decoding of single parity check turbo product codes transmitted using 16QAM
Abstract
Iterative soft-decision decoding algorithms require channel log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) which, when using 16QAM modulation, require intensive computations to be obtained. Therefore, we derive four simple approximate LLR expressions. When using the maximum a posteriori probability algorithm for decoding single parity check turbo product codes (SPC/TPCs), these LLRs can be simplified even further. We show through computer simulations that the bit-error-rate performance of (8,7)2 and (8,7)3 SPC/TPCs, transmitted using 16QAM and decoded using the maximum a posteriori algorithm with our simplified LLRs, is nearly identical to the one achieved by using the exact LLRs.
