Focusing on Turbo-coded dual N-ary orthogonal spread spectrum system, this paper proposes an algorithm for computing bit soft metric based on Maximum a Posteriori Probability (MAP) criterion, and then presents a simplified MAP algorithm. Meanwhile, the fixed-point and float-point performances are simulated and compared with several existing algorithms. It is shown that MAP algorithm greatly improves the whole system performance; the simplified MAP algorithm with L=3 outperforms the dual-maxima algorithms 0.4dB without extra cost in complexity..
