Decoding apparatus and decoding method
Candidate limiting section 104 outputs to correlation value calculating section 105 only the TFCI coding sequences corresponding to TFCI numbers that are actually used based on TFCI numbers that are included in the group of TFCI numbers notified from a layer which is upper than the physical layer, correlation value calculating section 105 calculates the correlation values between the coding sequences outputted from candidate limiting section 104 and the received TFCI and stores the results in correlation value memory 106 , maximum value detecting section 107 notifies error correction decoding section 108 of the TFCI number corresponding to the maximum correlation value among the correlation values stored in correlation value memory 106 , and error correction decoding section 108 performs an error correction decoding on the data stored in data memory 103 according to the transmission format specified based on the notified TFCI number.
1 - 9 . (Canceled).
10 . A decoding method for a communication terminal apparatus in a mobile communication system, said method comprising:
(a) receiving notification of transport format combination indicators (TFCIs);
(b) limiting transport format combination indicator (TFCI) candidates, for received data, to said TFCIs, identified in accordance with said notification;
(c) determining a TFCI, from among the TFCI candidates limited in step (b), for said received data; and
(d) obtaining decoded data by decoding said received data in accordance with the TFCI determined in step (c).
11 . A communication terminal apparatus in a mobile communication system, said apparatus comprising:
a receiver that receives notification of transport format combination indicators (TFCIs);
a limiter that limits transport format combination indicator (TFCI) candidates, for received data, to said TFCIs identified in accordance with said notification;
a determiner that determines a TFCI, from among the TFCI candidates limited by said limiter, for said received data; and
a decoder that obtains decoded data by decoding said received data in accordance with the TFCI determined by said determiner.
