LAZCANO-SALAS, S.  and  GARCIA-UGALDE, F.J.. A Turbo Code Design Using Small Size Frames for High SNR. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.4, pp.461-469. ISSN 2594-0732.

In the context of channel communications there have been several studies searching the theoretical Shannon's limit. In this sense, turbo codes performance is very close to this limit. In this work we make a comparative study of some good interleavers for short frame size (N<1024) considering rate compatible puncturing. We recommend a special puncturing methodology trying to improve the bit error frame (BER) especially at the error floor region and high SNR.

Keywords : Turbo codes; rate compatible; puncturing pattern; interleavers; error floor region.
