MATLAB Simulation of Turbo Codes with Complete Implementation and Analysis

This project implements Turbo code simulation using MATLAB, providing complete program code, simulation graphs, and accompanying research paper. The simulation thoroughly investigates Turbo code performance characteristics and Bit Error Rate (BER) analysis, with detailed examination of both encoding and decoding processes. The implementation includes key components such as recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) encoders, interleaver design, and the iterative MAP (Maximum A Posteriori) decoding algorithm using the BCJR method. Through these simulation results, we gain deeper insights into Turbo code operational principles and performance advantages, providing valuable references for further research and practical applications. The accompanying paper covers Turbo code fundamentals, background theory, and comprehensive review of existing research with critical analysis. This work aims to contribute to Turbo code research and applications while advancing developments in related communication fields through practical MATLAB implementations and theoretical explorations.
