Abstract
A method for the iterative decoding of a block of bits having a number N of bits to be decoded where N is a whole number greater than or equal to two, using an iterative decoding algorithm, comprises the generation of a current block of N intermediate decision bits by executing an iteration of the decoding algorithm, followed by the verification of a stability criterion for the current block by comparison of the current block with a given block of N reference bits. If the stability criterion is satisfied, the iterations of the iterative decoding algorithm are stopped and the current block of intermediate decision bits is delivered as a block of hard decision bits. Otherwise another iteration of the decoding algorithm is executed.
