Say the code has codewords, then there are codewords that differ from a codeword by a burst of length . Each of the M {\displaystyle M} words must be distinct, otherwise the code would have distance < 1 {\displaystyle <1} .
Turbo coding is an iterated soft-decoding scheme that combines two or more relatively simple convolutional codes and an interleaver to produce a block code that can perform to within a fraction of a decibel of the Shannon limit.
A Reed–Solomon code (like any MDS code) is able to correct twice as many erasures as errors, and any combination of errors and erasures can be corrected as long as the relation 2E + S ≤ n − k is satisfied, where is the number of errors and is the number of erasures in the block.
Since the source is only 4 bits then there are only 16 possible transmitted words. Included is the eight-bit value if an extra parity bit is used (see Hamming(7,4) code with an additional parity bit).
The description above is given for what is now called a serially concatenated code. Turbo codes, as described first in 1993, implemented a parallel concatenation of two convolutional codes, with an interleaver between the two codes and an iterative decoder that passes information forth and back between the codes.

A code with distance d allows the receiver to detect up to transmission errors since changing positions of a codeword can never accidentally yield another codeword. Furthermore, if no more than ( d − 1 ) / 2 {\displaystyle (d-1)/2} transmission errors occur, the receiver can uniquely decode the received word to a codeword.
Also, the values of the message bits are calculated through this scheme; finally we can calculate the codeword by multiplying the message word (just decoded) with the generator matrix. One clue if the decoding succeeded, is to have an all-zero modified received word, at the end of (r + 1)-stage decoding through the majority logic decoding. This ...
