Abstract

In this paper, we simulate and analyze performance of iterative coding scheme, double binary turbo code, for high speed power line communication (PLC) systems. PLC system has hostile environment for high speed data transmission, so error correction method is necessary to compensate effects of PLC channel. We employ the PLC model proposed by M. Zimmerman and Middleton Class A interference model, and system performance is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER). From the simulation results, we confirm double binary turbo code provides considerable coding gains to PLC system and BER performance is significantly improved as the number of iteration increase. It is also confirmed that BER performance increases as code rate is lager, while it decreases as the code rate is smaller.

본 논문에서, 고속 PLC 시스템을 위한 반복 부호화 기법인 이중 이진 터보 코드의 성능을 분석하고 실험하였다. PLC 시스템은 고속 데이터 전송에 열악한 환경을 가지므로, 이를 보상하기 위한 강력한 에러 정정 기법은 반드시 필요하다. PLC 채널 모델로서 M. Zimmerman가 안한 모델을 사용하였으며, 노이즈 모델로 Middleton Class A 모델을 적용하였다. 시스템 성능은 비트오류율 (BER) 측면에서 평가하였다. 모의실험 결과로부터 이중 이진 터보 코딩이 PLC 시스템에 상당한 코딩 이득을 제공한다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 복호화 프로세스에서 사용된 반복 횟수가 증가할수록 BER 성능이 현저하게 향상된다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 부호율이 증가할수록 시스템 성능이 감소하고, 부호율이 감소할수록 시스템 성능이 증가한다는 것도 확인하였다.
