<sect1 id="turbo"><title>Support for Concatenated Coding and Turbo Decoding</title>
<para>
-To do...
+Soft versions of the algorithms have been implemented.
+Also examples of turbo equalization/decoding and of sccc can
+be found in the examples directory.
+
+Recently we added gnuradio blocks for sccc and pccc encoders and
+turbo decoders.
+Although these can be generated by existing gr-trellis blocks (in particular,
+the SISO blocks, as done in some of the python examples) there is an advantage
+in having this functionality as a single block. To see why, think of a turbo decoder with 10 iterations. Previously we needed to concatenate 10 x 2 SISO blocks
+(for a sccc decoder) to emulate the passing of soft information between SISOs over 10 iterartions. With the new block however, only a single such block is needed that internally loops through 10 iterations; this results in space savings
+and possibly time saving as well (since queueing at the input/ouput of the gr-blocks is avoided).
+
+
+Still need to document them...
