Turbo codes are a class of recently-developed high-performance error correction codes finding use in deep-space satellite communications and other applications where designers seek to achieve maximal information transfer over a limited-bandwidth communication link in the presence of data-corrupting noise.
Turbo codes make it possible to increase data rate without increasing the power of a transmission, or they can be used to decrease the amount of power used to transmit at a certain data rate. Its main drawbacks are the relative high decoding complexity and a relatively high latency, which makes it unsuitable for some applications.
