Computer Science Series %D 2007 %I Mirton Publishing House, Timisoara %X The process of turbo-code decoding starts with the formation of a posteriori probabilities (APPs) for each data bit, which is followed by choosing the data-bit value that corresponds to the maximum a posteriori (MAP) probability for that data bit. Upon reception of a corrupted code-bit sequence, the process of decision making with APPs allows the MAP algorithm to determine the most likely information bit to have been transmitted at each bit time. %K Turbo codes %K Max-Log-Map decoder %K BER %K Eb/N0 %K convolutional codes %U http://anale-informatica.tibiscus.ro/download/lucrari/5-1-07-Timis.pdf
