Abstract
A flattening effect is observed in turbo codes under non-terminated conditi ons. This effect can be effectively eliminated by changing the reading prin ciple of turbo interleavers. An explanation of this effect is given. By rem oving the flattening effect: the performance difference between the termina ted and non-terminated cases becomes marginal.
