ABSTRACT:
A stopping criterion improvement for a turbo decoder that does not require division by a variable quantity. The stopping criterion improved upon generates a signal-to-noise ratio based on the mean and variance of soft-output estimates. The decoding process is aborted based on a comparison of the generated signal-to-noise ratio to a predetermined threshold.
