Abstract
The time delay of Turbo codes due to its iterative decoding is the main bottleneck of its application in real-time channel. However, the time delay can be greatly shortened through the adoption of parallel decoding algorithm, dividing the received bits into several sub-blocks and processing in parallel. This letter mainly discusses the applicability of turbo codes in high-speed real-time channel through the study of a parallel turbo decoding algorithm based on 3GPP-proposed turbo encoder and interleaver in various channel. Simulation result shows that, by choosing an appropriate sub-block length, the time delay can be obviously shortened without degrading the performance and increasing hardware complexity, and furthermore indicates the applicability of Turbo codes in high-speed real-time channel.
