VORRICHTUNG UND VERFAHREN ZUR TURBO DECODIERUNG MIT SIGNATURDATENVERGLEICH ALS ABBRUCHKRITERIUM

摘要

An iterative turbo decoder for a receiving unit of a wireless communication system and method for error correcting received communication signal data are provided. The decoder implements a stopping rule through use of signature codes to determine whether successive iterations of decoder data are the same. Memory requirements are reduced by calculation of a compressed signature of decoder estimate data.
