Fast iteration termination of Turbo decoding

摘要: Turbo encoded information that comprises first systematic bits, parity second and bits is decoded by supplying the to a decoder; operating decoders in parallel for number, m, of half-iterations, wherein m≧1. For each m decoder utilizes soft supplied as an output from preceding half-iteration, half-iteration. An early iteration termination decision made by, after one or more deciding whether stop comparing with decoder.
