This paper presents a new stopping criterion for turbo decoding. It is based on the selection of the maximum log-alphas calculated by the log-MAP algorithm. The sum of these maximum alphas is compared with a threshold value. Then, a decision on the end of decoding is taken. Simulation results show that the max-log criterion offers the same performance as the sum-alpha and sum-log criteria, while maintaining the same complexity level. The max-log criterion uses only the max operator to select maximum alphas and a summation. Therefore, the proposed criterion is faster and offers lower complexity.
In this article, we propose a new stopping criterion for turbo codes. This criterion is based on the behaviour of the probabilistic values alpha 'α' calculated in the forward recursion during turbo decoding. We called this criterion Sum-α. The simulation results show that the Bit Error Rates BER are very close to those of the Cross-Entropy CE criterion with the same average number of iterations.
