An FEC apparatus and method is provided that uses turbo codes. An input frame is iteratively decoded until an iterative decoding stop command is received under a predetermined control, and the absolute reliability of each symbol in the frame is output. The minimum of the absolute reliabilities is detected as a measurement, and a threshold is detected using the a-priori information and extrinsic information of the each symbol. The measurement is compared with the threshold, and the iterative decoding stop command is output according to the comparison result.

A forward error correction method for decoding coded bits generated by low density parity check matrixes. The method comprises converting each of the coded bits into a log likelihood ratio (LLR) value, and applying the converted values to variable nodes; delivering messages applied to the variable nodes to check nodes; checking a message having a minimum value among the messages, and determining a sign of the message having the minimum value; receiving messages updated in the check nodes, adding up signs of the received messages and a sign of an initial message, applying a weighting factor of 1 when all signs are identical, and when all signs are not identical, updating a message of a variable node by applying a weighting factor; determining LLR of an initial input value; and hard-deciding values of the variable nodes, performing parity check on the hard decision values, and stopping the decoding when no error occurs.

An Forward Error Correction (FEC) apparatus and method for reducing Bit error rates (BER) and Frame Error Rates (FER) using turbo decoding in a digital communication system. In a constituent decoder for decoding a turbo code, a first adder calculates the LLR of a received code symbol by calculating the difference between the probability of the code symbol being 1 and that of the code symbol being 0 at an arbitrary state of a turbo decoding trellis. A second adder adds the transmission information and a priori information of the code symbol. A third adder calculates the difference between the outputs of the first and second adders as extrinsic information. A first multiplier multiplies the output of the third adder by a predetermined weighting factor as a feedback gain. A correction value calculator calculates a correction value using the difference between the best metric and the second best metric of the code symbol. A fourth adder adds the correction value to the output of the first multiplier.

A method and apparatus for effectively controlling data input to a turbo decoder for decoding forward packet data traffic in a 1xEV-DV mobile station (MS) are disclosed. After received code symbols are stored in one of several memories and read in deinterleaving order, read addresses and chip select signals are generated for the memories based on encoder packet size in synchronization to a decoder clock signal. The decoding starts by inputting a predetermined number of code symbols to the turbo decoder in an appropriate order. The decoder input apparatus reads demodulated forward packet data from decoder input buffers in an appropriate order using the read addresses and chip select signals to generate turbo decoder input data in an appropriate form. Thus, a small-size, low-cost, low-power consumption MS is achieved by processing channel-interleaved data at high speed and with reduced process delay and providing them to a decoder.

Disclosed is an apparatus for stopping iterative decoding in a turbo decoder performing iterative decoding on a received frame comprised of information bits and then outputting the iteratively decoded results. A turbo decoder sequentially outputs absolute LLR (Log Likelihood Ratio) values associated with the respective information bits of the received frame by the iterative decoding, and stops the iterative decoding in response to a stop command for the iterative decoding. A minimum LLR detector selects a minimum value M(i) among the sequentially output absolute LLR values. A controller issues a command to stop the iterative decoding, if the minimum value M(i) is larger than a first threshold determined based on a minimum value Fmin among absolute LLR values output through previous iterative decoding.

An apparatus and method for reading written symbols by deinterleaving to decode a written encoder packet in a receiver for a mobile communication system supporting turbo coding and interleaving, such that a turbo-coded/interleaved encoder packet has a bit shift value m, an up-limit value J and a remainder R, and a stream of symbols of the encoder packet is written in order of column to row. The apparatus and method perform the operations of generating an interim address by bit reversal order (BRO) assuming that the remainder R is 0 for the received symbols; calculating an address compensation factor for compensating the interim address in consideration of a column formed with the remainder; and generating a read address by adding the interim address and the address compensation factor for a decoding-required symbol, and reading a symbol written in the generated read address.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for detecting a data rate in a turbo decoder for a mobile communication system. When a rate selector selects one data rate among a plurality of data rates, a turbo decoder repeatedly decodes an input data frame within a predetermined repetition limit number using the selected data rate and outputs the decoded data. A CRC detector performs CRC check on the decoded data and outputs the CRC check result, and a decoding state measurer measures decoding quality depending on the decoded data and outputs decoding state information. A controller then sets the repetition limit number to a predetermined minimum value, controls the repetition limit number according to the decoding state information, controls the rate selector and determines a data rate of the input data depending on the CRC check result.
