Abstract

An apparatus and method for controlling decoding in a wireless communication system are provided. Data is received in a slot associated with a packet to be received. A threshold is determined according to format information of the packet. It is determined whether to decode the received data by comparing the threshold with the number of slots received in relation to the packet. The received data is stored without decoding, if the number of the received slots is less than or equal to the threshold. The received data is decoded to recover the packet, if the number of the received slots is greater than the threshold.
