A method and apparatus for decoding data is provided herein to show how to turbo decode LDPC codes that contain a partial dual diagonal parity-check portion, and how to avoid memory access contentions in such a turbo decoder. During operation, a decoder will receive a signal vector corresponding to information bits and parity bits and separate the received signal vector into two groups, a first group comprising signals corresponding to the information bits and one or more parity bits, a second group comprising a remainder of the parity bits. The first group of received signals is passed to a first decoder and the second group of received signals is passed to a second decoder. The decoders are separated by an interleaver and a deinterleaver. Iterative decoding takes place by passing messages between the decoders, through the interleaver and the deinterleaver, and producing an estimate of the information bits from the output of the first decoder.
