Serial Concatenated Decoding with Syndrome-Weight Early Termination

The patent extracts the syndrome calculation and weight checking as a separate early termination condition from the complete iterative decoding process. By calculating syndrome weight at intermediate iteration steps and comparing it against a threshold, the system can exit the iterative process early when sufficient reliability is achieved, without completing all maximum iterations. This separates the reliability assurance function from the time-consuming complete iteration process.

The patent applies partial action by performing only the necessary number of iterations required to achieve acceptable decoding reliability, rather than always completing the full maximum iteration count. The syndrome weight threshold provides a stopping criterion that requires partial execution of the iterative process - enough to ensure reliability but not excessive iterations that would reduce throughput.

The patent implements feedback by continuously monitoring the syndrome weight during iterative decoding and using this information to control the continuation or termination of the decoding process. The syndrome weight serves as a feedback metric that indicates decoding progress and reliability, allowing the system to adjust iteration count dynamically based on actual decoding performance rather than fixed maximum iterations.

The patent introduces dynamics into the previously static iterative decoding process by making the iteration count adaptive rather than fixed. The syndrome weight threshold mechanism allows the decoding process to dynamically terminate early when reliability requirements are met, or continue closer to maximum iterations when more work is needed, creating a flexible, condition-based decoding duration that balances reliability and time loss.
