Abstract
This paper gives an overview of Turbo codes principles, performance, a nd design issues for practical application. As fundamentals of Turbo c odes, encoder structure, interleaver. and iterative decoding are expla ined. The performance is analyzed through their weight distribution, a nd the analysis gives code design rules fur component codes. Practical decoding algorithms are presented in addition to MAP algorithm. Desig n issues are discussed for mobile communications as an example of prac tical application. Finally, research trends are briefly mentioned.
