Application of syndrome based Turbo decoding with adaptive computational complexity in LTE downlink

J. Geldmacher, K. Hueske, M. Kosakowski, and J. Götze

Abstract. This paper describes the application of an adaptive complexity decoder for the Long Term Evolution (LTE) downlink Turbo code. The proposed decoding approach is based on the block syndrome decoding principle and enables adaptive reduction of decoding effort depending on current SNR and iteration number with negligible influence on decoding performance. Numerical results in context of LTE downlink using typical mobile channels are used to demonstrate the efficiency of the approach.
