Abstract
A syndrome-based decoding method and apparatus for a block turbo code are disclosed. An embodiment of the present invention provides a syndrome-based decoding method for a block turbo code that includes an extended Hamming code as a component code, where the decoding method includes: (a) generating an input information value for a next half iteration by using channel passage information and the extrinsic information and reliability factor of a previous half iteration; (b) generating a hard decision word by way of a hard decision of the input information value; (c) calculating an n number of 1-bit syndromes, which corresponds to the number of columns or rows of the block turbo code, by using the hard decision word; and (d) determining whether or not to proceed with the next half iteration by using the calculated n number of 1-bit syndromes.
