Abstract
A concatenated channel decoding method wherein the bits of a set of N1 bits decoded using a first iterative block decoding algorithm and intended to be decoded using a second block decoding algorithm, are sent in parallel in at least one subset of P bits to a buffer for temporary storage. The decoding method comprises receiving in parallel at least one subset of Q bits belonging to the set of N1 bits sent to the buffer, detecting errors with the help of the second decoding algorithm, based on the bits decoded using the first decoding algorithm, and correcting the bits stored in the buffer as a function of possible errors detected. Detecting errors and/or the correcting the stored bits comprise a parallel processing of the bits of each subset of Q bits received.
