Abstract

Method and a receiver in a communication system for receiving a transport block. The transport block comprises code blocks, each of the code blocks includes an error detection code and an error correction code. Reliability metrics are determined using an input generated during processing of the code blocks after the transport block is received. Each of the reliability metrics corresponds to each of the code blocks. A code block reorderer reorders the code blocks in an order based on the reliability metrics and a selection criterion. A decoder decodes each of the code blocks using the error correction code in the order. A verifier verifies each of the decoded code blocks using the error detection code.
