In non-binary turbo decoding combined with non-binary orthogonal signaling such as M-ary FSK, the conditional channel probabilities of the non-binary symbols require M values for each symbol. In this paper, we propose a method which can reduce the backup memory size of the channel values of non-binary orthogonal signaling. And we propose a new turbo decoding method which can reduce the memory for a non-binary turbo MAP decoder. We compare the memory requirements of proposed algorithms and the bit error rate performances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
