Various types of interleavers in turbo codes and their parameters affecting the efficiency of turbo codes are considered. It is noted that the type of interleaver directly affects the efficiency and error correcting of turbo codes. Also, the efficiency of turbo codes is influenced by the parameters of the minimum distance, the length of interleaver, and the distance spectrum of the code.
A modification of the chaotic interleaver of turbo codes is proposed with the change of the equation to the Duffing and with examining the code's distance spectrum with the condition of increasing the code's distance between the code words with a small weight. The algorithm for modifying the chaotic interleaver with the Duffing equation and with examining the code's distance spectrum of turbo codes is presented. The characteristics of the modified chaotic interleaver with the Duffing equation and with examining the code's distance spectrum of turbo codes according to various parameters of turbo codes are given. This modification of the interleaver of turbo codes increased the minimum distance between elements for different lengths of the interleaver and polynomials of the turbo code by 10 % …33 %. Given this, there was an increase in the energy efficiency of the turbo codes by 0,05, …, 0,25 dB in comparison with a chaotic interleaver without modification at the same value of the bit error probability. When increasing the length of the modified chaotic interleaver with the Duffing equation and applying distance spectrum of the code the increasing the energy efficiency of the turbo code slows down compared to the chaotic interleaver without modification.
The application scope of the modified chaotic interleaving with the Duffing equation and with examining the code's distance spectrum of turbo codes is the infocommunication channels for mobile, wired, and satellite communications
