- Turbo code - In electrical engineering and digital communications, 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.
- EXIT chart - An Extrinsic information transfer chart, commonly called an EXIT chart, is a technique to aid the construction of good iteratively-decoded error-correcting codes (in particular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and Turbo codes).
- Error floor - The error floor phenomenon occurs when the error probability of a given code does not approach 0 as quickly for medium to high Signal-to-noise ratio as it does at lower SNR. Error floor primarily affects codes with low weight codewords, such as LDPC and Turbo codes.
- Joachim Hagenauer - Joachim Hagenauer (born in 1941) is an information theorist, professor emeritus at Technical University of Munich. His notable work includes pioneering the use of soft bits (see Soft output Viterbi algorithm), a coding theory technique that contributes to the high performance of the turbo codes.
- Alain Glavieux - Alain Glavieux (died 2004), was a French professor in electrical engineering at École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne. He was the coinventor with Claude Berrou and Punya Thitimajshima of a groundbreaking coding scheme called turbo codes.
