Abstract

A method of processing an information sequence with a decoder is provided. A window within the information sequence is selected. A training period is calculated for the window. At least one recursion of the window is initialized based on the calculated training period. Systems and programs for processing the information sequence are also provided.

Claims (45)

1. A method of processing an information sequence with a decoder, comprising:

selecting a window within the information sequence;

calculating a training period for the window;

initializing at least one recursion of the window based on the calculated training period; and

calculating the training period based on a signal quality of the window, wherein the training period is non-decreasing as the signal quality increases.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the recursion is a forward recursion.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the recursion is a backward recursion.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

dividing the information sequence into at least two windows.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

calculating the training period based on a size of the window.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the decoder is iterative.

7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

selecting an additional window; and

computing an additional training period for the additional window based on the training period of the window.

8. A turbo decoding system comprising:

means for selecting a window within an information sequence;

means for calculating a training period for the window;

means for initializing at least one recursion of the window based on the calculated training period;

means for calculating the training period based on an iteration number, wherein the training period is non-decreasing as the iteration number increases; and

wherein the turbo decoding system is iterative.

9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

means for dividing the information sequence into at least two windows.

10. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

means for calculating the training period based on a size of the window.

11. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

means for calculating the training period based on a signal quality of the window.

12. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

at least one interleaver.

13. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

at least one de-interleaver.

14. A method of processing an information sequence with a decoder, comprising:

selecting a window within the information sequence;

calculating a training period for the window;

initializing at least one recursion of the window based on the calculated training period; and

calculating the training period based on an iteration number, wherein the training period is non-decreasing as the iteration number increases and the decoder is iterative.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein the recursion is a forward recursion.

16. The method of claim 14 wherein the recursion is a backward recursion.

17. The method of claim 14 further comprising:

dividing the information sequence into at least two windows.

18. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

calculating the training period based on a size of the window.

19. The method of claim 14 further comprising:

selecting an additional window; and

computing an additional training period for the additional window based on the training period of the window.
