Fast simulation of turbo codes over AWGN channels

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperConference Paper

Abstract

In this paper, we illustrate the use of importance sampling (IS) for efficient simulation of Turbo Codes over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. In particular, we show how to bias the probability density function (pdf) of the AWGN process using the most probable error path (MPEP) method in order to maximize the computational efficiency gain. The new noise pdf is designed based on the optimal biased distribution where zero variance estimator can be achieved. It is demonstrated that the proposed method requires much smaller sample sizes to achieve the same accuracy required by a conventional MC estimator.
