  • Abstract
    A simple and effective criterion for stopping the iteration process in turbo decoding with negligible degradation of the error performance is presented. The new, improved hard-decision-aided (IHDA) extends the existing hard-decision-aided (HDA). Unlike the HDA, it requires no extra data storage, while achieving similar performance in terms of the BER and average number of iterations
