Abstract

Modern telecommunications services often require different treatment of data of different priorities. In this chapter, we provide an overview of Turbo and LDPC code-based methods to realize unequal error protection (UEP). In Turbo coding, we present puncturing, i.e., omitting output bits and pruning, i.e., fixing input bits of an encoder as the means to adapt the rate, ...
