Abstract:
1. A method for decoding user data, comprising: providing user data having a coded base data and a coded refining data; decoding the base data using a first decoder having a decoder-related first delay; decoding the refining data using a second decoder having a decoder-related second delay which is longer than the first delay; checking whether the decoded refining data is available in accordance with a time parameter; mixing the decoded refining data with the decoded base data and outputting the mixed data if the checking results in the refining data being available, the outputting of the mixed data occurring via a switch device communicatively connected to a mixing device to receive the mixed data from the mixing device when in a first position; and outputting the decoded base data without any of the decoded refining data if the check results in the refining data being unavailable via the switch device, the switch device being communicatively connected to the first decoder and the switch device being in a second position when outputting the decoded base data without any of the decoded refining data.
