This invention provides methods for reducing the bit width of soft information, while maintaining a large dynamic range by applying compression and expansion. In particular, this invention provides methods for time de-interleaving of soft information, comprising the steps of: quantizing the soft information into a first soft information having a first pre-defined number of bits; compressing the first soft information into a second soft information having a second pre-defined number of bits; time de-interleaving the second soft information; and decompressing the time de-interleaved second soft information.
