PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of terminating two or more constituent encoders of a turbo encoder employing a turbo code. SOLUTION: The method comprises the steps of: generating tail input bits at each of two or more constituent encoders; deriving the tail input bits from each of the two or more constituent encoders separately from a contents of shift registers within each of the two or more constituent encoders, after an encoding of information bits by the two or more constituent encoders; and puncturing one or more tail output bits such that 1/R output tail bits are transmitted for each of a plurality of trellis branches, wherein R is a turbo code rate employed by the turbo encoder during an information bit transmission.
