Abstract
Based on the two-dimensional (2-D) weight distribution of tail-biting codes we give guidelines how to choose tail-biting component codes that are espe cially suited for parallel concatenated coding schemes, Employing these gui delines, we tabulate tail-biting codes of different rate, length, and compl exity. The performance of parallel concatenated block. codes (PCBCs) using iterative (turbo) decoding is evaluated by simulation and bounds are calcul ated in order to study their asymptotic performance.
