%0 Journal Article %T FPGA design of a cdma2000 turbo decoder %A Maribell Sacanamboy Franco %A Fabio G. Guerrero %J Computer Science %D 2014 %I arXiv %X This paper presents the FPGA hardware design of a turbo decoder for the cdma2000 standard. The work includes a study and mathematical analysis of the turbo decoding process, based on the MAX-Log-MAP algorithm. Results of decoding for a packet size of two hundred fifty bits are presented, as well as an analysis of area versus performance, and the key variables for hardware design in turbo decoding. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1404.5929v1
