Patent ID: 8379510

Claim:
A receiver in a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) communication system, the receiver comprising: an Identifier (ID)-based decoder controller for detecting an ID from a data block by partially decoding the data block, and if the ID indicates that the data block is not for the receiver and if data length of the data block is long enough to be bypassed, outputting a control signal commanding non-decoding for the data block; a bitmap table controller for indicating the data block as a non-decoding data block in a bitmap table according to the control signal; and a decoder for distinguishing data blocks to be decoded from non-decoding data blocks based on the bitmap table, decoding the data blocks to be decoded and outputting the decoded data blocks, and outputting the non-decoding data blocks without decoding; wherein the ID is a Connection ID (CID); and wherein the data blocks are Forward Error Correction (FEC) blocks.
