Abstract
We investigate the construction of joint source-channel (JSC) turbo codes for the reliable communication of binary Markov sources over additive white Gaussian noise and Rayleigh fading channels. To exploit the source Markovian redundancy, the first constituent turbo decoder is designed according to a modified version of Berrou's original decoding algorithm that employs the Gaussian assumption for the extrinsic information. Due to interleaving, the second constituent decoder is unable to adopt the same decoding method; so its extrinsic information is appropriately adjusted via a weighted correction term. The turbo encoder is also optimized according to the Markovian source statistics and by allowing different or asymmetric constituent encoders. Simulation results demonstrate substantial gains over the original (unoptimized) Turbo codes, hence significantly reducing the performance gap to the Shannon limit. Finally, we show that our JSC coding system considerably outperforms tandem coding schemes for bit error rates smaller than 10/sup -4/, while enjoying a lower system complexity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
