A decoding system, a decoding controller, and a decoding control method are provided. In the decoding system, a decoding controller is disposed between two adjacent decoders. The decoding controller determines whether to perform turn-off based on a non-turn-off indication received by a previous-stage decoder, a turn-off indication output by the previous-stage decoder, and historical turn-off probability statistics. This is equivalent to adding a buffer zone between the two adjacent decoders.
