Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for utilizing early stopping rules for non-binary turbo codes. Data can be received from a channel and decoded using a non-binary turbo code to generate extrinsic information and a posteriori information. The generated extrinsic information can be evaluated using an early stopping rule. A hard decision on a value of the received data can be made using the a posteriori information if the early stopping rule is satisfied.
