Abstract
After the breakthrough caused by the introduction of Convolutional Turbo Codes (CTCs) by Berrou and Glavieux [1], extensive consolidation work has led to the publication by Joachim Hagenauer of the so-called Turbo Principle [2] The latter actually generalize the principle underlying Berrou’s Turbo Codes to the decoding of any kind of concatenated error correcting code. In 1994, one year after Berrou’s landmark paper, Pyndiah proposed to decode iteratively Forney Jr.’s Block Product Codes [3, 4], as introduced in Chapter 1 of this book as Serially Concatenated Block Codes or Block Turbo Codes (BTCs).
