Abstract

A decoding apparatus includes maximum decoding iteration count controller 52 which determines maximum decoding iteration counts of respective received code words based on modulation schemes and error-correcting coding ratios which are applied to the received code words and average error ratios of the received code words before the code words are decoded, and turbo decoding engine 53 which decodes each of the received code words according to a maximum decoding iteration count determined by maximum decoding iteration count controller 52.

Claims (18)

1. A decoding apparatus for decoding a plurality of code words when the code words are sent by way of multiplex transmission, comprising:

maximum decoding iteration count control means for determining maximum decoding iteration counts of respective received code words based on modulation schemes and error-correcting coding ratios which are applied to the received code words and average error ratios of the received code words before the code words are decoded; and

decoding executing means for decoding each of the received code words according to a maximum decoding iteration count determined by said maximum decoding iteration count control means.

2. The decoding apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

SNR-BLER holding means for holding signal to noise ratios and said average error ratios in association with each other for the respective modulation schemes and the respective error-correcting coding ratios;

wherein said maximum decoding iteration count control means refers to information held by said SNR-BLER holding means and estimate average error ratios corresponding to the signal to noise ratios of the received code words.

3. A decoding method for decoding plurality of code words when the code words are sent by way of multiplex transmission, comprising:

determining maximum decoding iteration counts of respective received code words based on modulation schemes and error-correcting coding ratios which are applied to the received code words and average error ratios of the received code words before the code words are decoded; and;

decoding each of the received code words according to a determined maximum decoding iteration count.

4. The decoding method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

holding signal to noise ratios and said average error ratios in association with each other for the respective modulation schemes and the respective error-correcting coding ratios; and

referring to information which is held and estimating average error ratios corresponding to the signal to noise ratios of the received code words.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a program for decoding a plurality of code words when the code words are sent by way of multiplex transmission, which program executes:

a process of determining maximum decoding iteration counts of respective received code words based on modulation schemes and error-correcting coding ratios which are applied to the received code words and average error ratios of the received code words before the code words are decoded; and

a process of decoding each of the received code words according to a determined maximum decoding iteration count.

6. The non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a program according to claim 5 , which executes:

a process of holding a signal to noise ratio and said average error ratios in association with each other for the respective modulation schemes and the respective error-correcting coding ratios; and

a process referring to information which is held and estimating average error ratios corresponding to the signal to noise ratios of the received code words.
