Abstract
A method, apparatus and system for improving block error rate performance of a receiver having an iterative decoder in a communication system, the method, apparatus and system includes receiving an encoded frame of data, the encoded frame of data includes a quantity of code blocks where each code block has a corresponding code block size, determining a first maximum number of iterations for each of the code blocks of the encoded frame of data iteratively performing a decoding operation on a first code block until the occurrence of one of (a) the first maximum number of iterations has been reached and (b) the first code block has converged, and determining a second maximum number of iterations for the remaining code blocks of the encoded frame of data based on the number of actual iterations used to decode the first code block.
