Abstract
Disclosed are systems, methods, and computer program products for decoding of transport format combination indicator (TFCI) in a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS). In one aspect, a method includes receiving by a UE coded TFCI bit sequence on a physical channel, determining a range of TFCI bits that contain information, performing early decoding of the received TFCI bit sequence; and limiting the search set of decoded TFCI bits to the determined range of TFCI bits. The range of TFCI bits that contain information may be determined from a code book.
