Abstract

The performance of soft decision decoding, whose for which the design is complex, is superior to the performance of hard decision decoding. In this paper, we propose a turbo product code with a bit flip algorithm to improve                                                                                                      the performance of hard decision decoding. The performance of hard decision decoding is improved with low complexity using multidimensional turbo product codes. The reliability of decoding in a communication system to detect and correct errors is discussed .Maximum a posterior probability (MAP) decoding is employed to improve the hard decision performance of turbo product codes with multiple dimensions. Our results include comparisons of multiple dimensions—2D, 3D, 4D, and 5D—and the number of iterations in soft and hard decision decoding.
