Abstract

An error correction code decoding device comprises a first memory having a memory space like a matrix, a first decoding unit writing a first information into the first memory along a first direction, a second decoding unit reading the first information from the first memory along a second direction and a plurality of turbo decoders included in the second decoding unit, and differentiating access timing to a same row or same column with each other.

Claims (9)

1. A decoding device comprising:

a memory;

a first decoding unit configured to write information to the memory along a first direction in a memory space of the memory; and

a second decoding unit configured to read the information from the memory along a second direction different from the first direction in the memory space of the memory and to decode a coding block based on the information;

wherein the second decoding unit comprises a first decoder that decodes a first sub-block included in the coding block and a second decoder that decodes a second sub-block included in the coding block,

wherein the first decoder starts accessing the memory to read the information therefrom whereas the second decoder starts accessing the memory later than the first decoder to read the information therefrom.

2. The decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the first direction is one of row and column directions in the memory space of the memory and the second direction is the other of row and column directions.

3. The decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the second decoder starts accessing the memory one reference clock later than the first decoder.

4. The decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the second decoder decodes the second sub-block in partially parallel with the first decoder.
