摘要

An efficient, iterative soft-in-soft-out decoding scheme is employed for the parallel and serially concatenated single parity check (SPC) product codes, which has very low complexity, requiring only two addition-equivalent-operations per information bit. For a rate 0.8637 of parallel concatenated SPC product code, a performance of BER = 10(-5) at E-b/N-0 = 3.66 dB can be achieved using this decoding scheme, which is within 1 dB from the Shannon limit.
