In the realm of telemedicine within 5G networks, real-time monitoring and analysis of EEG signals are increasingly vital. Efficient decoding techniques play a crucial role in ensuring accurate data transmission and timely diagnosis. This paper conducts a thorough comparative study of turbo decoding techniques applied in EEG signal processing for telemedicine applications within 5G networks. Various turbo-decoding algorithms are evaluated based on decoding accuracy, computational complexity, and latency. Factors such as channel conditions, SNR, and packet loss rates are considered to assess the suitability of these techniques for handling EEG signals over 5G networks. Extensive simulations and analysis are conducted to provide insights into the trade-offs between different turbo decoding techniques and their impact on EEG signal reconstruction quality. The study yields significant insights into the performance of various turbo decoding techniques in the context of EEG signal processing for telemedicine over 5G networks. By analyzing these factors, the research aims to optimize telemedicine systems utilizing 5G technology, ultimately enhancing the reliability and efficiency of EEG signal processing for medical diagnosis and monitoring applications. The findings suggest potential strategies for reducing Bit Error Rate (BER) and improving overall signal performance for different code rates and turbo decoding techniques, thus benefiting patient care in telemedicine contexts.
