Convolutional Turbo Code Decoding in Receiver With Iteration Termination Based on Predicted Non-Convergence

摘要

This disclosure introduces the concept of a strategy for a Convolutional Turbo Code decoder to make a prediction with regards to the likelihood of convergence. If a failure of convergence appears likely, the decoding process is aborted, The predictions regarding failure of convergence are made at the end of each half-iteration in a decoding process, leading to more efficient use of decoders in a system.
