Abstract

A method for controlling power consumption of an iterative decoder based on one or more criteria is described. The method may include performing iterative decoding on a demodulated signal to provide a decoded signal, receiving information regarding the iterative decoding, and based on the information controlling a number of nodes of the iterative decoder to enable during a next iteration of the iterative decoding.
