Abstract:
A method of decoding using a log posterior probability ratio L(u), which is a function of forward variable α (. ) and backward variable β (. ). The method comprises dividing the forward variable α (. ) and the backward variable β (. ) into, for example, two segments p and q, where p plus q equal the length of the code word U. The forward segments α (. ) are parallel calculated, and the backward segments β (. ) are parallel calculated. The ratio L(u) is calculated using the parallel calculated segments of α (. ) and β (. ).
