Before revision: History Serial concatenated convolutional codes were first analyzed view a view toward turbo decoding in "Serial Concatenation of Interleaved Codes: Performance Analysis, Design, and Iterative Decoding" by S. Benedetto, D. Divsalar, G. Montorsi and F. URL This analysis yielded a set of observations for designing high performance, turbo decodable serial concatenated codes that resembled turbo codes.
