- Type
integer
- Default
2- Examples
--dec-fnc-crc-ite 1
Set the first iteration to start the CRC checking.
Note
This parameter requires the Turbo code to be concatenated with a CRC to work, see the CRC parameters.
3.2.4.11.2.7. --dec-fnc¶
Enable the FNC post processing technique.
Note
The FNC post processing technique is detailed in [Trb-TLLeGal+16].
Note
This parameter requires the Turbo code to be concatenated with a CRC to work, see the CRC parameters.
3.2.4.11.2.8. --dec-fnc-ite-m¶
- Type
integer
- Default
3- Examples
--dec-fnc-ite-m 2
Set the first iteration at which the FNC is used.
See the --dec-fnc parameter.
3.2.4.11.2.9. --dec-fnc-ite-M¶
- Type
integer
- Default
10- Examples
--dec-fnc-ite-M 6
Set the last iteration at which the FNC is used.
See the --dec-fnc parameter.
3.2.4.11.2.10. --dec-fnc-ite-s¶
- Type
integer
- Default
1- Examples
--dec-fnc-ite-s 2
Set the iteration step for the FNC technique.
See the --dec-fnc parameter.
3.2.4.11.2.11. --dec-fnc-q¶
- Type
integer
- Default
10- Examples
--dec-fnc-q 6
Set the search space for the FNC technique.
See the --dec-fnc parameter.
3.2.4.11.2.12. --dec-ite, -i¶
- Type
integer
- Default
6- Examples
--dec-ite 8
Set the maximal number of iterations in the Turbo decoder.
If the Turbo code is concatenated with a CRC and if the CRC is checked, the decoder can stop before making all the iterations.
3.2.4.11.2.13. --dec-sc¶
Enable the Self-Corrected (SC) decoder.
Note
The SC decoder is detailed in [Trb-Ton17] (in French).
Note
This parameter requires the Turbo code to be concatenated with a CRC to work, see the CRC parameters.
3.2.4.11.2.14. --dec-sf-type¶
- Type
text
- Allowed values
ADAPTIVEARRAYCSTLTELTE_VEC- Examples
--dec-sf-type ADAPTIVE--dec-sf-type CST 0.5
Select a scaling factor (SF) to be applied to the extrinsic values after each half iteration.
This is especially useful with the max-log-MAP sub-decoders (BCJR with the \(\max\) approximation): the SF helps to recover a part of the decoding performance loss compare to the MAP algorithm (BCJR with the \(\max^*\) operator).
Note
The SF technique is detailed in [Trb-VF00].
Description of the allowed values:
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Select the adaptive SF, for the first and second iterations a SF of 0.5 is applied, for the other iterations the SF is 0.85. |
|
Select an hard-coded array of SFs (c.f. Table 3.3). |
|
Set the same SF to be applied for each iterations. |
|
Select a 0.75 SF. |
|
Select a 0.75 vectorized SF (faster than |
