The description above is given for what is now called a serially concatenated code. [[Turbo code]]s, as described first in 1993, implemented a parallel concatenation of two convolutional codes, with an interleaver between the two codes and an iterative decoder that passes information forth and back between the codes.<ref name="deep-space-codes"/> This design has a better performance than any previously conceived concatenated codes.
 
However, a key aspect of turbo codes is their iterated decoding approach. Iterated decoding is now also applied to serial concatenations in order to achieve higher coding gains, such as within serially concatenated convolutional codes (SCCCs). An early form of iterated decoding was implemented with two to five iterations in the "Galileo code" of the [[Galileo (spacecraft)|Galileo space probe]].<ref name="McEliece"/>c
