Abstract

A device system and method is provided for early termination of a decoding process performed at a receiving user device. A user-specific message may be received, from a communication channel shared by multiple user devices. The user-specific message may include an error correction codeword generated by shifting an original codeword by an offset codeword uniquely associated with a target user device. The error correction codeword may be shifted based on an offset codeword uniquely associated with the receiving user device. The received message may begin to be decoded. If the receiving device is the target device, the offsets respectively associated therewith are equal and cancel, and the original message is decoded to completion. If, however, the receiving device is not the target device, the offsets respectively associated therewith are not equal and combine to form an above threshold decoding error and decoding is terminated before completion.
