Method and apparatus for storing log likelihood ratios in interleaved form to reduce hardware memory

Abstract

An apparatus and method for storing log likelihood ratios in an interleaved form comprising receiving a plurality of interleaved codewords (710); obtaining at least one log likelihood ratio (LLR) for the plurality of interleaved codewords (720); storing the at least one LLR in a memory (730); deinterleaving the plurality of interleaved codewords after the at least one LLR has been stored in the memory (740); and performing a bit decision of the deinterleaved codewords using the stored at least one LLR (750).

Description

[0001] Claiming priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119

[0002] This patent application claims priority to Provisional Application No. 61 / 041,212, filed March 31, 2008, entitled "Storing LLRs in Interleaved Form to Reduce Hardware Memory" (Storing LLRs in Interleaved Form to Reduce Hardware Memory), This application is assigned to the assignee of the present application and is hereby expressly incorporated by reference. technical field

[0003] The present disclosure generally relates to apparatus and methods for decoding in wireless communication systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to storing log-likelihood ratio (LLR) information in an interleaved form. Background technique

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, data, and so on. These systems may be multiple-access systems capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (eg, b...
