Apparatus and method for stopping iterative decoding in a mobile communication system

摘要

An apparatus and method are provided for stopping iterative decoding in a channel decoder of a mobile communication system. Constituent decoding of received signals is performed and decoded signals are output. Hard decision processes for the decoded signals are performed and hard-decided signals are output. The hard-decided signals are cyclic redundancy check (CRC) encoded, and a determination is made as to whether the parities are identical and iterative decoding is stopped according to a determination result.
