Abstract
By means of the mean reliability (defined as the mean of the absolute values of log-likelihood ratios), a new design of parallel concatenated "turbo" codes is proposed. This criterion allows us to describe the behavior of the constituent decoders and, furthermore, to predict the behavior of the iterative decoder for large block lengths. The mean reliability can also be used as a stopping criterion.
