A brief overview and experimental researches of novel PL-log-MAP turbo decoding algorithm

In the paper, we will discuss the powerfull class of channel codes referred to as turbo codes. We commence with a brief discussion for MAP and log-MAP decoding algorithms. Then we work with proposed turbo decoding method, which is called as PL-log-MAP. Some numerical results and research experiments, such as simulation for bit error rate estimation and images transmission have been presented. It is shown that PL-log-MAP algorithm performance is almost the same as for original log-MAP. So, this algorithm can be used in digital communication systems.
