    摘要: The present invention relates to SISO decoder for iteratively decoding a block of received information symbols (r), in particular for use in a turbo decoder, said block being divided into a number of windows of information symbols. In order to achieve a significant reduction of power consumption a SISO decoder is proposed comprising at least one SISO decoding unit (17, 21) for SISO decoding of the received information symbols (r) of a window, wherein a stopping criterion is applied to each window. This allows to abort iterative decoding for each window individually once convergence of decoding is determined by marking a window or sub-block inactive (17,23). An inactive window is no longer SISO decoded in subsequent iterations.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of decoding possibly multilated code words (r) of a code (C), wherein an information word (m) and an address word (a) are encoded into a code word (c) of said code (C) using a generator matrix (G) and wherein said address words (a) are selected such that address words (a) having a known relationship are assigned to consecutive code words (c). To provide a reliable way of decoding making use of the known relationship, a method comprising the following steps is proposed: decoding the differences (D) of a number (L-1) of pairs of possibly mutilated code words (rib, ri+1) to obtain estimates (u, v) for the differences of the corresponding pairs of code words (ci, ci+1), combining said estimates (u, v) to obtain a number (L) of at least two corrupted versions (wj) of a particular code word (c), forming a code vector (z) from said number (L) of corrupted versions (wj) of said particular code word (c) in each coordinate, decoding said code vector (z) to a decoded code word (c') in said code (C), and- using said generator matrix (G) to obtain the information word (m) and the address word (a) embedded in said decoded code word (c').

    摘要: The invention provides an efficient reading device in which, even if one radiation beam should fail, no information is lost and the information can still be read out without time-consuming recurring operations. The present invention solves this problem by providing a reading device (Fig. 5A) and a means (Fig. 4) for forming read-out spots (A, B, C, D, E) that are built up by multiple radiation beams from the radiation source (4). This has the advantage that each read-out spot will have energy contributions from different radiation beams and, should one radiation beam break down, the intensity of some of the read-out spots may indeed diminish, but the information can still be read out thanks to the contributions from other radiation beams.
