Abstract:
1. A method of managing storage in a wireless communication device, the method comprising: receiving a first data transmission comprising a first plurality of blocks at the wireless communication device; decoding the first plurality of blocks; performing a cyclic redundancy check on each of the first plurality of blocks; determining whether each of the first plurality of blocks passes the cyclic redundancy check; determining whether a memory has sufficient capacity to store a plurality of log-likelihood ratios associated with a first portion of the first plurality of blocks that fail the cyclic redundancy check; selecting for storage a first portion of the plurality of log-likelihood ratios based on a quality metric of each of the associated blocks, wherein the selected first portion of log-likelihood ratios are associated with blocks having higher quality metrics than the quality metrics of the blocks associated with a second portion of the plurality of log-likelihood ratios not selected; and storing the second portion of the plurality of log-likelihood ratios not selected in an external memory.
