Hey Alfredo,

cool stuff with the Turbo Code :)

If you want to read more on general turbo code principles I suggest Hanzo's
Book on Turbo Codes /EQ
http://www-mobile.ecs.soton.ac.uk/comms/files/fec-book-updtd.pdf
Turbo Codes start at Page 21.

I implemented the 8-state RSC code from LTE as single MAP Decoder in my
Master's thesis and I found this pretty helpful:

Coding starts at page 11.

Hope this can help you.

See you at GRCON!
