Abstract
An apparatus for decoding a TPC codeword is disclosed. The apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to receive a first set of soft information corresponding to the TPC codeword. The TPC codeword includes at least one codeword corresponding to each of first, second, and third dimensions. The processor is further configured to iteratively perform a first soft decoding procedure on the at least one codeword corresponding to the first dimension to generate a first candidate codeword and upon determining that the first candidate codeword is not a correct codeword, and perform a second decoding procedure on the at least one codeword corresponding to the third dimension to generate a second candidate codeword. The second decoding procedure generates a second set of soft information to be used at a later iteration of the first decoding procedure.
