Capacity-Approaching Non-Binary Turbo Codes: A Hybrid Design Based on EXIT Charts and Union Bounds

In this paper, we introduce a novel design approach for capacity-approaching non-binary turbo codes. There are two important factors that impact the performance of turbo codes in general: 1) the convergence behavior of iterative decoding in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and 2) the error-floor...
