Abstract

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and convolutional Turbo codes are two of the most powerful error correcting codes that are widely used in modern communication systems. This paper provides an overview of the basic concepts employed in LDPC codes and convolutional Turbo codes with 3 dimensions, and compare the performance of these codes. A description of both classes of codes will be given. The LDPC codes and 3 dimensional turbo code are coupled with receive diversity techniques and are employed as the error correction scheme over Additive White Gaussian Channels (AWGN) by employing Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation scheme. The performance of newly obtained codes is evaluated in term of bit error rate (BER) for a given value of Eb/No.
