After passing a systematic bit through a turboencoder, the encoding process will introduce some extent of correlation between a systematic bit and its associated parity bits. However, this correlation is neglected in the subsequent turbo decoding process so as to reduce its computational complexity. In this paper, we try to explore the feasibility of modeling the bit-level stochastic correlation for the iterative turbo decoding. By properly adjusting the parameter of the correlation model, we can approximate various degrees of the underlying correlation within the received codewords. Reduction in bit error rate (BER) then may benefit from a more accurate capture of the correlation information at the cost of requiring only a small additional computation complexity. Experimental results indicate that incorporating the correlation model into the turbo decoding process can achieve better BER performance than that of conventional turbodecoders over AWGN channels.

Current DVB-SH systems rely on hierarchical modulation to insert local content into the complementary ground component. The local content is inserted as a low priority bit stream, while the global content will be transmitted as a high-priority bit stream. At the receiver, the standard approach of extracting the local content from the received signal first requires detection of the global content. Subsequently, one can extract the local content by subtracting the coded and modulated form (restored version) of the detected global content from the received signal. In this paper, we propose a different approach to remove the global content from the received signal. In our new approach, a hybrid signal is designed to represent the turbo-coded global content, which contains decoded bits from the turbodecoder representing systematic bits, and detected bits from the received signal prior to the turbodecoder representing parity bits. This technique would relieve the receiver from performing coding and modulation on the detected global content so as to ensure a less computational burden and a smaller latency than the current technology. The obvious tradeoff between complexity and performance would imply higher bit error rates arising from our proposed system. Therefore, to mitigate the bit-error-rate performance degradation, we propose modifying the turbodecoder so that the systematic bit streams and the parity bit streams will be decoded differently with respect to their corresponding signal-to-noise ratios. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that our proposed new scheme can achieve better computational efficiency and less latency in the slight sacrifice of error performance.

DVB-SH systems rely on hierarchical modulation to insert local content in the complementary ground component. The local content is inserted as a low priority (LP) bit stream, while the global content will be transmitted as a high-priority (HP) bit stream. At the receiver, the standard approach of extracting the local content from the received signal requires to detect the global content first. Henceforth, one can remove the global content by subtracting the coded and modulated signal of the detected stream from the received signal. In this paper, we propose and investigate a different approach of removing the global content from the received signal. In our new approach, a hybrid signal is designed, which contains (i) detected bits from the turbodecoder as systematic bits, and (ii) detected bits from the received signal prior to the turbodecoder as parity bits. This technique would relieve the receiver from performing coding and modulation on the detected global content so as to ensure less computational burden and a smaller latency than the current technology. The obvious tradeoff between complexity and performance would imply high bit error rates. Therefore, to mitigate the bit-error-rate performance degradation, we propose to modify the turbodecoder so that the systematic bit streams and the parity bit streams will be decoded differently with respect to their corresponding signal-to-noise ratios. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that our proposed new scheme can achieve less computational complexity and latency in the slight sacrifice of error performance.
