Traditional Convolutional Codes and Turbo Codes with CTC Implementation

Traditional convolutional codes and Turbo codes remain widely used today, but both exhibit a significant drawback in information transmission. To address this limitation, the IEEE 802.16d/e standard introduced the Convolutional Turbo Code (CTC) encoding scheme. This MATLAB code implements complete CTC encoding and decoding processes, incorporating key algorithmic components like parallel concatenated convolutional encoders and iterative MAP decoding. The implementation demonstrates valuable insights into enhancing data transmission efficiency and reliability through turbo-principle-based error correction.
