Editing Turbo code (section)

==Practical applications using turbo codes==
Telecommunications:
* Turbo codes are used extensively in [[3G]] and [[4G]] mobile telephony standards; e.g., in [[High Speed Packet Access|HSPA]], [[EV-DO]] and [[3GPP Long Term Evolution|LTE]].
* [[MediaFLO]], terrestrial mobile television system from [[Qualcomm]].
* The [[return link|interaction channel]] of [[satellite communication]] systems, such as [[DVB-RCS]]<ref>[http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301700_301799/301790/01.05.01_60/en_301790v010501p.pdf Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB); Interaction channel for Satellite Distribution Systems], ETSI EN 301 790, V1.5.1, May 2009.</ref> and [http://www.dvb.org/standards/dvb-rcs2 DVB-RCS2].
* Recent [[NASA]] missions such as [[Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]] use turbo codes as an alternative to [[Reed–Solomon error correction]]-[[Viterbi decoder]] codes.
* [[IEEE 802.16]] ([[WiMAX]]), a wireless metropolitan network standard, uses block turbo coding and convolutional turbo coding.
