4.2.1. Turbo Decoder Data Format

Table 14.  Turbo Decoder Output Data Ordering for a Block of Size K N is the width of the input LLRs.
Input Data sink_data
3N - 1 down to 2N 2N - 1 down to N N - 1 down to 0
0 Z ’0 Z 0 X 0
1 Z ’1 Z 1 X 1
... ... ... ...
K - 1 Z ’ K - 1 Z K - 1 X K - 1
K X K + 1 Z K X K
K + 1 Z K + 2 X K + 2 Z K + 1
K + 2 X ’ K + 1 Z ’ K X ’ K
K + 3 Z ’ K + 2 X ’ K + 2 Z ’ K + 1

The Turbo decoder requires all data to be in the log-likelihood format. The connected system must provide soft information, including parity 1 and parity 2 bit sequences according to the following equation:

L(x) = log[P(x=1)/(x=0)]

The log-likelihood value is the logarithm of the probability that the received bit is a 1, divided by the probability that this bit is a 0. It is represented as a two’s complement number. A value of zero indicates equal probability of a 1 and a 0, which you should use for depuncturing. The decoder does not use the most negative two’s complement number, which means the representation is balanced.

Output

The number of output bits can be 1 or 8 bits. For 1 bit, the ordering is: X 0, X 1, X 2, . . . . X K-1
