Abstract
A method and an arrangement are presented for processing received data blocks in a digital radio receiver. Received data blocks are equalized () and channel decoded, () after which they are checked () for errors. Additionally there is monitored () the amount of received but not yet equalized and channel decoded data. As a response to a finding indicating that an equalized and channel decoded data block contains errors (), it is checked () whether the amount of received but not yet equalized and channel decoded data is below a certain threshold. As a response to a finding indicating that the amount of received but not yet equalized and channel decoded data is below said threshold, the data block which was found to contain errors is iteratively equalized and channel decoded. By adaptively allowing iterative equalization and channel decoding, retransmissions may be avoided.
