On the performance of chaotic interleaver for turbo codes

Abstract It is well known that the interleaver plays a critical role in the performance of turbo codes and its design using random and deterministic permutations. In this paper, we present a new method to design a deterministic interleaver with random-like behavior based on two-dimensional chaotic map, so called lozi map. The designed interleaver is called chaotic interleaver. The statistical properties and the performance of such interleaver have been investigated and compared with random interleaver and dithered golden interleaver. Chaotic interleaver results in lowering the latency and the complexity of implementation and enhance the reliability and the security of the communication system.
