Abstract
A method for improved decoding of received convolutionally coded input data uses data scaling to provide near ideal turbo decoding. The method includes a first step of loading a portion of the input data into a buffer. A next step includes calculating a mean of the data in the portion of the input data. A next step includes computing a root-mean-square value of the portion of the input data using the mean from the calculating step. A next step includes deriving a scaling factor from the root-mean-square value of the computing step, and a next step includes scaling the portion of input data by the scaling factor of the deriving step.
