Parallel decodable turbo codes (PDTCs) are suitable for concurrent decoding and hence have low latency. Memory collision issue is an important problem met during parallel processing. In this article, we propose a collision free interleaver for parallel processing operations. The performance of PDTCs is analyzed with the proposed random interleaver preventing the memory collision problem. Distance spectra of PDTCs with the proposed interleaves are computed and compared to those with S-random interleaver.
