Apparatus for blind transport format detection of a received turbo coded data signal, the turbo code comprising two constituent codes, the apparatus comprising: a syndrome vector generator (2443, 2444) for generating a syndrome vector for each constituent code of at least two candidate turbo codes, an error rate estimator (2453, 2454) for estimating an error rate of a received signal based on a corresponding one of said syndrome vectors, and a selector (260) for selecting one of the turbo codes indicating a lowest estimated error rate for use in decoding said turbo-coded data. The invention is useful in 3G communication in which a transport formate identification field has been omitted or has been corrupted.
