Summary :

An upper bound on frame error rate (FER) for generalized concatenated convolutional codes (GCCC's) with iterative decoding is presented. The GCCC is a generalized concatenated code which consists of an inner binary convolutional code and outer Reed-Solomon codes. The FER bound is derived from the average weight enumerator of the inner code. We can optimize the configuration of the outer code since the FER bound can be easily computed. Some optimum outer code profiles will be shown. The results show that combination of GCCC and iterative decoding attains fairly small frame error probability (PB 10-13, Eb/N0 = 6 dB) with relatively simple component code (16-state convolutional code and Reed-Solomon code of length 32).
