Abstract
Given a turbo code generated by parallelly concatenated recursive systematic convolutional encoders, the turbo decoder comprises MAP decoders coupled in a serial connection, where each MAP decoder decodes a recursive systematic convolutional code. We propose a turbo decoding algorithm that, on a logical level of abstraction, is made of several turbo decoders working in parallel. Each turbo decoder is initialized with different recursive convolutional code. Practical implementation of the proposed algorithm may be achieved with a single turbo decoder, where MAP decoders are working concurrently.
