A method and an apparatus for carrying out a turbo decoding by utilizing the channel information are disclosed. When using a turbo-decoder in a wireless communication system, in order to reduce the decoding delay, the channels are estimated by using the information such as a pilot channel information or a pilot symbol information, and the number of iterative decoding is controlled by utilizing the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), thereby shortening the decoding delay, and making the quality of the high speed multi-media service better and reliable. The turbo code decoding apparatus utilizing a channel information according to the present invention includes a channel estimator for estimating a channel status based on reception signals to measure a SIR. Further, an iterative decoding times controller controls the number of iterative decoding by comparing the SIR with a pre-set threshold value. Further, a decoder carries out the iterative decoding as many times as controlled by the iterative decoding times controller. The present invention is applied to communication systems.
