EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing 

 Special Issue on
 Turbo Processing

Turbo codes first appeared in 1993. Although limited at the
beginning to coding, the idea of exchanging soft information
between SISO (soft-input/soft-output) modules has
subsequently been applied to other elements of a digital
communications receiver, leading to the nowadays famous turbo
principle. Due to their excellent performance, turbo codes
are already used in a number of standards, and have become
a very active area of research.

The goal of this special issue is therefore to present recent
research results on the theory and applications of the
"turbo principle."

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 o Design of turbo codes
 o Performance and bounds of turbo codes
 o Design of SISO algorithms
 o Modelling of turbo/iterative processing
 o Turbo detection/equalization for time dispersive channels
 o Turbo joint detection for multiuser communications
 o Turbo space-time coding
 o Turbo reception for MIMO systems
 o Turbo synchronization
 o Turbo demodulation
 o Joint source-channel decoding based on soft information
 o Implementation issues
 o Applications and standards
