Abstract:
A method for accessing extrinsic information in a turbo decoder is disclosed. Operation phases for Forward State Metric Calculators (FSMCs) and Reverse State Metric Calculators (RSMCs) in multiple maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoders are misaligned differently based on whether a current half iteration is even or odd. First extrinsic information is read from a memory into the FSMCs and RSMCs using the misaligned operation phases. Second extrinsic information is determined using the MAP decoders. Each row of the second extrinsic information is stored to a different bank in the memory using the misaligned operation phases.
