Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:In this paper, we focus on implementing turbo decoder compliant with 3GPP spec, we adopted sliding window method with forward state metric as an accuracy initialization value and a modified Max-Log-MAP algorithm which modify extrinsic information by a scaling factor R. Then, we can implement the whole turbo decoder with a single-decoder structure, producing high data throughput with lower logic gates usage. The FPGA design of our proposed structure (SW-modified Max-Log-MAP) results in only 0.1 dB away from the optimal structure (SW-Log-MAP) at BER=10 -4 . It also saves about 29% hardware cost than the optimal structure
