Abstract: To shorten a time required for a decoding process
of a turbo codes without an increase in an operating
frequency of the decoder by making concurrent operations of
two soft-output decoders possible, the present invention
provides soft-output decoders (101, 102) for outputting a
reliability information likelihood, interleavers (103, 105)
for interleaving transmission information to supply to the
soft-output decoder, interleaver (104, 106) for
interleaving a reliability information likelihood to supply
to the soft-output decoder, and deinterleavers (107, 108)
for deinterleaving the reliability information likelihood
to supply to the soft-output decoder. Since these elements
are constructed as two circuits having the same
configuration and two soft-output decoders are operated
concurrently in an iterative decoding process for a second
time et seq. in the iterative decoding process of the turbo
codes, a processing time required for the decoding process
for the second time et seq. can be reduced by half.
