Abstract
Apparatus for iterative decoding of a sequence of signal packets coded in accordance with a multi-component coding scheme. The apparatus includes a plurality of decoders, each of which performs a respective different decoding method on one of the signal packets, such that the plurality of decoders operate substantially concurrently. Iterative decoding may be stopped if a predefined threshold maximum number of iterations is reached, or if the previous two decoder iterations have satisfactory cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), or if the input frame buffer to the decoder is filled to within a predefined percentage of its storage capacity.
