  Abstract

The SOVA, which produces the soft decision value, can be used as a sub-optimum solution for concatenated codes such as turbo codes, since it is computationally efficient compared with the optimum MAP algorithm. In this paper, we propose an efficient implementation of the SOY A used for decoding turbo codes. by reducing the number of calculations for soft decision values and trace-back operations. In order to utilize the memory efficiently, tile whole block of turbo codes is divided into several sub-blocks in the proposed algorithm. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm requires less computation than the conventional algorithm. while providing the same overall performance.
