Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this paper we propose a method for on-line estimation of Bit Error Rate during turbo decoding. We model the log-likelihood ratios as a mixture of two Gaussian random variables and derive estimators for the mean and variance of these distributions based on a Maximum-Likelihood approach. The parameter estimates are then employed to calculate the cross-over area of the Gaussian tails to estimate BER at each decoder iteration. The performance of the BER estimator is analysed and compared.
