In order for third-generation (3G) wireless systems to take off, design engineers must once again turn to advanced error correction schemes. 3G wireless systems will ...
Turbo decoding has revolutionised error correction in digital communication by enabling transmission rates approaching the theoretical channel capacity. At its core ...
This article focuses on techniques to decode UMTS Turbo codes efficiently using a general purpose DSP processor with MAP (maximum a posterior) decoding algorithm. Since MAP decoding is costly both in ...
