Relation between capture effect and forward error correction

摘要

Based on results obtained by the in-door experiment concerning the capture effect, the paper clarifies the relation between the bit error rate (BER) and the ratio of signal power density with high power wave and low power wave. The discussions focuses on the difference between BER characteristics using two different forward error correction techniques, Viterbi decoding and sequential decoding. Furthermore the condition to obtain the capture effect is modeled by introducing a standard interference ratio and this modeling is confirmed to be useful from the fact that BER characteristics in various parameter setting can be related with each other based on the standard interference ratio.
