Abstract :
This paper presents two simple and effective criteria for stopping the iteration process in turbo decoding with a negligible degradation of the error performance. Both criteria are devised based on the cross-entropy (CE) concept. They are as efficient as the CE criterion, but require much less and simpler computations
