RT Journal Article T1 Adaptive SOVA for 3GPP-LTE Receivers A1 Blánquez-Casado, Francisco A1 Martín-Vega, Francisco-Javier A1 Morales-Jiménez, David A1 Gómez-Paredes, Gerardo A1 Entrambasaguas-Muñoz, José Tomás K1 Comunicación inalámbrica AB Turbo codes are extensively used in wireless communication systems and have been adopted as the channel coding scheme for next generation cellular standards. The complexity associated with the decoding process is an important issue. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm (adSOVA) based turbo decoder which is proved to reduce complexity without experiencing a degradation in error correction performance. The proposed adSOVA is evaluated in a long term evolution (LTE) downlink scenario and compared with the SOVA and the Max-Log-MAP algorithms. Simulation results show that a complexity reduction of 40% can be achieved with respect to the conventional SOVA with no BLock Error Rate (BLER) degradation PB IEEE Xplore YR 2014 FD 2014-06 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/33188 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/33188 LA eng NO F.
