Abstract
Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) form a class of iteratively decodable convolutional codes that are constructed from component convolutional codes. In braided code division multiple access (BCDMA), these very efficient error correcting codes are combined with a multiple access method and inherent interleaving for channel diversity exploitation into one single scheme. In this paper, we describe the BCDMA principle and present simulation results for a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. Results for bit interleaved coded modulation (BICM) based on turbo and LDPC codes are also given for comparison.
