Abstract
An iterative detection and decoding device includes a signal detector, an error-correction decoder and an SI selector. The signal detector is utilized for generating a set of soft information (SI). The error-correction decoder is coupled to the signal detector, for iteratively decoding the set of SI and accordingly updating the set of SI to generate a set of updated SI. The SI selector is coupled between the signal detector and the error-correction decoder, for selecting at least one SI from the set of updated SI when each SI satisfies at least one predetermined constraint rule. The signal detector further selectively generates a new set of SI according to a selection result generated from the SI selector.
