Patent ID: 8738985

Claim:
A method for dynamically controlling a Turbo decoding process in a long term evolution (LTE) multi-user equipment (UE) traffic simulator, the method comprising: in an LTE traffic simulator configured to simulate plural UE devices: receiving, from an evolved NodeB under test, a plurality of transport blocks; dynamically determining a maximum number of Turbo decoding iterations for each of the transport blocks using an expected number of Turbo decoding iterations determined for each of the transport blocks, wherein dynamically determining a maximum number of Turbo decoding iterations for each of the transport blocks includes maintaining a running count of available Turbo decoding iterations associated with the LTE traffic simulator during a Turbo decoding process and dynamically allocating the available Turbo decoding iterations to each of the transport blocks in proportion to the expected number of Turbo decoding iterations for each of the transport blocks; and Turbo decoding each of the transport blocks for no more than its determined maximum number of Turbo decoding iterations.
