Improved Design and SOVA Algorithm for Serial Concatenated Convolutional Code

To improve the performance of the short interleaved serial concatenated convolutional code(SCCC) with low decoding iterative times, the structure of Log MAP algorithm is introduced into the conventional SOVA decoder to improve its performance at short interleaving delay. The combination of Log MAP and SOVA avoids updating the matrices of the maximum path, and also makes a contribution to the requirement of short delay. The simulation results of several SCCCs show that the improved decoder can obtain satisfied performance with short frame interleaver and it is suitable to the high bit rate low delay communication systems.
