Abstract :
We present an iterative soft-output decoding algorithm for serially concatenated convolutional codes which has better performance than the conventional noniterative decoding algorithm. The proposed Viterbi decoding scheme can be used whenever some form of serial concatenation of encoders and channels with memory is applied
