Turbo Decoding as an Instance of Expectation Maximization Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
The Baum-Welch algorithm is a technique for the maximum likelihood parameter estimation of probabilistic functions of Markov processes. We apply this technique to nonstationary Markov processes and explore a relationship between the Baum-Welch algorithm and the BCJR algorithm. Furthermore, we apply the Baum-Welch algorithm to two nonstationary Markov processes and obtain the turbo decoding algorithm.

Blind Turbo Decoding of Side-informed Data Hiding Using Iterative Channel Estimation
Distortion-Compensated Dither Modulation (DC-DM) has been theoretically shown to be a near-capacity achieving data hiding method, thanks to its use of side information at the encoder. In practice, channel coding is needed to approach its achievable rate limit. However, the most powerful coding methods, such as turbo coding, require knowledge of the channel model. We investigate here the possibi...
متن کاملTurbo synchronization : an EM algorithm interpretation - Communications, 2003. ICC '03. IEEE International Conference on
This paper is devoted to turbo synchronization, that is to say the use of soft information to estimate parameters like carrier phase, frequency offset or timing within a turbo receiver. It is shown how maximum-likelihood estimation of those synchronization parameters can be implemented by means of the iterative expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm [1]. Then we show that the EM algorithm iter...

متن کاملSystem Performance of Concatenated STBC and Block Turbo Codes in Dispersive Fading Channels
A new scheme of concatenating the block turbo code (BTC) with the space-time block code (STBC) for an OFDM system in dispersive fading channels is investigated in this paper. The good error correcting capability of BTC and the large diversity gain characteristics of STBC can be achieved simultaneously. The resulting receiver outperforms the iterative convolutional Turbo receiver with maximum a ...
متن کاملA Theoretical Framework for Soft-Information-Based Synchronization in Iterative (Turbo) Receivers
This contribution considers turbo synchronization, that is to say, the use of soft data information to estimate parameters like carrier phase, frequency, or timing offsets of a modulated signal within an iterative data demodulator. In turbo synchronization, the receiver exploits the soft decisions computed at each turbo decoding iteration to provide a reliable estimate of some signal parameters...
