FIELD: turbocoding or iterative coding methods.
SUBSTANCE: one of alternative decoding systems has random-access memory of channel deinterleaver for memorizing symbolic estimate block, plurality of S status metric computers, and plurality of S + 1 window random-access memories. Each status metric computer is designed for generating plurality of status metric calculations, S of S + 1 window random-access memories being used to enable symbolic estimates for S status index computers. Remaining window random-access memories receive symbolic estimates from random-access memory of channel deinterleaver.
EFFECT: enhanced decoding speed; facilitated use of turbocoding for various systems.
