Method and apparatus for sharing decoding time across transport blocks

摘要

Techniques for efficiently decoding data at a receiver are disclosed. In one aspect, total available decoding time of the receiver is initially allocated to a plurality of code blocks of a plurality of transport blocks to obtain initial allocated decoding times for the plurality of code blocks. The initial allocated decoding time for each code block may be given by a particular number of decoding iterations to perform for that code block. One or more code blocks of one or more transport blocks are decoded. After decoding the one or more code blocks, a remaining available decoding time is determined and reallocated to undecoded code blocks of the plurality of transport blocks to obtain updated allocated decoding times for the undecoded code blocks. The remaining available decoding time may be reallocated across code blocks of a transport block, across transport blocks, across carriers, across radio access technologies, or a combination thereof.

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a receiver, a plurality of code blocks of a plurality of transport blocks on a plurality of carriers, the plurality of transport blocks including at least one transport block on each of the plurality of carriers; determining initial allocated decoding times for the plurality of code blocks of the plurality of transport blocks based on a total available decoding time of the receiver, each transport block including at least one code block; determining a remaining available decoding time after decoding one or more code blocks of one or more of the plurality of transport blocks; and determining updated allocated decoding times for undecoded code blocks of the plurality of transport blocks based on the remaining available decoding time, wherein determining the updated allocated decoding times comprises reallocating a remaining available decoding time for a carrier to at least one code block on at least one different carrier.
