CHAOS AND CONTROL OF TRANSIENT CHAOS IN TURBO-DECODING ALGORITHMS
Ljupčo Kocarev, Žarko Tasev · International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos · 2004
We suggest a link between coding theory (iterative algorithms) and chaos theory. A whole range of phenomena known to occur in nonlinear systems, like the existence of multiple fixed points, oscillatory behavior, bifurcations, chaos and transient chaos are found in turbo-decoding algorithms. We develop a simple technique to control transient chaos in turbo-decoding algorithms and improve the performance of the classical turbo codes.
