For a rate R=1/3 turbo code, what is the correct expression of extrinsic aposteriori L-value (after decoding) of decoder 1? All the notations are same as used in the lectures.

L(1)(ul)

L(2)(ul)

L(1)(ul)−Lcr(0)l−L(2)e(ul)

L(2)(ul)+Lcr(0)l+Lcr(1)l

For a rate \( R = \frac{1}{3} \) turbo code, the extrinsic **a posteriori L-value** of decoder 1 can be expressed as follows:

### \( L_{\text{ext}}^{(1)}(u_l) \)
The extrinsic L-value is typically calculated by subtracting the contributions of the systematic L-value and the extrinsic L-value from the second decoder. This leads us to the correct expression:

\[
L_{\text{ext}}^{(1)}(u_l) = L^{(1)}(u_l) - L_{\text{cr}}^{(0)}(l) - L_{\text{ext}}^{(2)}(u_l)
\]

Here is a breakdown of the terms:
- \( L^{(1)}(u_l) \): The a posteriori L-value (log-likelihood ratio) from the first decoder.
- \( L_{\text{cr}}^{(0)}(l) \): The systematic channel reliability information.
- \( L_{\text{ext}}^{(2)}(u_l) \): The extrinsic information from the second decoder.

Thus, the correct expression is:

\[
L^{(1)}(u_l) - L_{\text{cr}}^{(0)}(l) - L_{\text{ext}}^{(2)}(u_l)
\]

This expression corresponds to the third option: 

### \( L^{(1)}(u_l) - L_{\text{cr}}^{(0)}(l) - L_{\text{ext}}^{(2)}(u_l) \).
