4.2.2. CRC24A or CRC24B Early Termination

Early termination reduces power consumption and the overall latency, and increases the throughput significantly. It may also increase BER performance of the decoder.

The IP core checks the CRC checksum that the decoder generates after every iteration. Turbo decoding stops as soon as the CRC is successful. turbo decoding does not continue until the maximum number of iterations specified at the input ports. The gains depend on the signal-to-noise ration (SNR) of the received data block, block size, and the maximum number of iterations you specify.
