Provided are a method and an apparatus for parallel Turbo decoding in LTE, comprising: storing input check soft bits and a frame to be decoded, when storing said frame, dividing the frame into blocks, storing each block respectively as system soft bits; simultaneously performing component decoding once for several blocks of one said frame, and in the process of component decoding, dividing each block into several sliding windows according to a sliding window algorithm, calculating the following parameters according to system soft bits, check soft bits and priori information: branch metric value γ, forward state vector α, backward state vector β, LLR, and priori information, storing the priori information for use in a next component decoding; completing a decoding process after several component decoding; performing a hard decision on LLR, and if judged that a result of the hard decision meets an iteration ending condition, outputting a decoding result, otherwise, performing next iteration decoding.
