Design of Rate-Compatible Serially Concatenated Convolutional Codes

• Recently a powerful class of rate-compatible serially concatenated convolutional codes (SCCCs) have been proposedbased on minimizing analytical upper bounds on the error probability in the error floor region. Here this class ofcodes is further investigated by combining analytical upper bounds with extrinsic information transfer charts analysis.Following this approach, we construct a family of rate-compatible SCCCs with good performance in both the errorfloor and the waterfall regions over a broad range of code rates.
