The continuous investment in research and development of turbo codes, aimed at improving the overall system efficiency of wired/wireless electrical and optical communications networks, brings about a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical industrial solutions. Turbo codes are Parallel or Serial Concatenation of Convolutional Codes (PCCCs and SCCCs respectively), which are also termed Parallel and Serially Concatenated Codes (PCCs and SCCs). In many cases, SCCs shown to have remarkable Bit-Error-Rate (BER) performance for BERs lower than 10
