Patent ID: 7228483

Claim:
A turbo decoding device for executing a soft-input/soft-output decoding by using a receiving sequence having transmission information, a first coded signal derived by coding the transmission information, and a second coded signal derived by interleaving and coding the transmission information, said turbo decoding device comprising: a first soft-output decoder for outputting a first reliability information likelihood; a second soft-output decoder for outputting a second reliability information likelihood; a first interleaver for interleaving the transmission information to supply to the first soft-output decoder; a second interleaver for interleaving the first reliability information likelihood or the second reliability information likelihood to supply to the first soft-output decoder; a first deinterleaver for deinterleaving the first reliability information likelihood or the second reliability information likelihood to supply to the first soft-output decoder; a third interleaver for interleaving the transmission information to supply to the second soft-output decoder; a fourth interleaver for interleaving the first reliability information likelihood or the second reliability information likelihood to supply to the second soft-output decoder; and a second deinterleaver for deinterleaving the first reliability information likelihood or the second reliability information likelihood to supply to the second soft-output decoder.
