摘要：In communication systems, specifically wireless mobile communication applications, Size and Speed are dominant factors while meeting the performance requirements. Turbo codes play an important role in such practical applications due to their better error-correcting capability. In Turbo decoders, Maximu m A Posterior probability (MAP) algorithm has been widely used for its optimum error correcting performance. But it is very difficult to design high-speed MAP Decoder because of its recursive computations. This paper proposes a Max-Log maximum a posteriori (ML-MAP) algorithm with dual mode SB/DB decoding. A Parallel VLSI architecture comprising multiple SISO elements, to form Log Likelihood ratio (LLR) unit in order to reduce the critical path delay. A dual mode single-binary (SB) and double-binary (DB) decoding algorithm has been used to reduce the arbitrary block sizes for high throughput decoding. The computational modules and storages of the dual-mode (SB/DB) MAP decoding are designed to achieve high area utilization. This architecture with a SB/DB decoding can achieve comparable processing speed about 11 % and area efficiency of 5.71 bits/mm2
