Abstract :
An improved frame synchronisation methodology is proposed for turbo-decoded packets using a list synchronisation technique, where a simple synchroniser generates a list of most probable packet starting positions and the following synchroniser makes a refined decision. The second synchroniser is decoder-assisted, accepting soft-decision feedback from the decoder. The performance of the scheme is evaluated via simulation
