Formulaic flexible collision-free memory accessing for parallel turbo decoding with quadratic polynomial permutation (QPP) interleave. A means is presented by which any desired number of parallel implemented turbo decoding processors can be employed to perform turbo decoding that has been performed using a QPP interleave. This approach is presented to allow an arbitrarily selected number (M) of decoding processors (e.g., a plurality of parallel implemented turbo decoders) to perform decoding of a turbo coded signal while still using a selected embodiment of a QPP interleave. In addition, a collision-free memory mapping, (MOD,C,W) provides more freedom for selecting the particular quadratic polynomial permutation (QPP) interleave (π) that satisfies a parallel turbo decoding implementation with any desired number of parallel implemented turbo decoding processors. This memory mapping allows collision-free reading and writing of updated information (as updated using parallel implemented turbo decoder) into memory banks.
