Abstract. The focus of this paper is directed towards the investigation of the characteristics of symbol-by-symbol iterative decoding algorithms for error-correcting block turbo-codes which enable communication at relatively low received signal/noise and provide high power efficiency. Specific feature of investigated turbo-codes is construction with usage of low-density parity-check codes (LDPC) and these turbo-codes are in the class of LDPC too. According to this fact the considered turbo-codes have symbol-by-symbol decoding algorithms developed for total class LDPC codes, namely BP (belief propagation) and modification (MIN_SUM_BP). The BP decoding algorithm is iterative and for implementation the signal/noise is required, for implementation of MIN_SUM_BP decoding algorithm the signal/noise is not required. The resulted characteristics of turbo-codes constructed with usage of LDPC based on Euclidean geometry (namely, duration of code words, information volume, code rate, error performances) are presented in this paper. These component LDPC codes are cyclic and have encoding and decoding algorithms with low complexity implementation. The computer simulations for encoding and iterative decoding algorithms for the number of turbo-codes with different code rate and information volumes are performed. The results of computer simulations have shown that MIN_SUM_BP decoding algorithm is more effective than BP decoding algorithm for AWGN channel concerning error-performances. For Relay channel these decoding algorithms are equivalent concerning error-performances.

Key words: block product codes, Euclidean low-density parity-check codes, iterative decoding.
