Efficient Decoding of Turbo Codes with Nonbinary Belief Propagation
<p>Abstract</p> <p>This paper presents a new approach to decode turbo codes using a nonbinary belief propagation decoder. The proposed approach can be decomposed into two main steps. First, a nonbinary Tanner graph representation of the turbo code is derived by clustering the binar...
