METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION BY EARLY DECODING

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are provided for reducing power consumption by early decoding. It is determined whether a predetermined decoding condition is satisfied upon expiration of a time unit in a transmission time interval. Decoding is performed on a signal that has been received through the time unit in the transmission time interval, when the predetermined decoding condition is satisfied. A controller outputs an instruction signal to a RF processor to set to a low-power mode during a remaining time period of the transmission time interval after the time unit in the transmission time interval, when the decoding is successful. Decoding is performed on the signal that has been received through the RF processor upon expiration of a last time unit of the transmission time interval regardless of the predetermined decoding condition, when the time unit is the last time unit in the transmission time interval.

1. An apparatus for reducing power consumption by early decoding, the apparatus comprising:
a baseband processor configured to process a received signal from a radio frequency (RF) processor; a decoder configured to decode an output signal of the baseband processor; and a controller configured to:
determine whether a predetermined decoding condition is satisfied upon expiration of a time unit in a transmission time interval;control the decoder to perform decoding on a signal that has been received through the time unit in the transmission time interval, when the predetermined decoding condition is satisfied;transmit an instruction signal to the RF processor to set a low-power mode during a remaining time period of the transmission time interval after the time unit in the transmission time interval, when the decoding is successful; andcontrol the decoder to perform decoding on the radio signal upon expiration of a last time unit of the transmission time interval regardless of the predetermined decoding condition, when the time unit is the last time unit in the transmission time interval.
