Abstract
Future mobile radio systems like the European UMTS (universal mobile telecommunications system) will provide packet oriented data services with data rates up to 2 Mbit/s. Therefore, flexible and adaptive error correction coding must be deployed. Recently, rate compatible punctured Turbo-codes (RCPTCs) have been proposed . The authors discuss a design method for such codes and illustrate its viability by showing the performance results for an RCPTC with a block size of 672 bits.
