Methods and apparatuses for saving power during transport block decoding in UMTS systems
First Claim
1. A method of decoding, comprising:
- decoding, by a receiving device, a code block from a plurality of code blocks corresponding to a transport block;
obtaining a reliability indicator that identifies a reliability of the decoding of the code block;
comparing the reliability indicator to a reliability threshold; and
determining whether to decode a subsequent code block from the plurality of code blocks based on the comparing.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for improved transport block decoding in devices capable of wireless communication, which may include user equipment and network entities. For example, the present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for decoding a code block from a plurality of code blocks corresponding to a transport block, obtaining a reliability indicator that identifies a reliability of the decoding of the code block, comparing the reliability indicator to a reliability threshold, and determining whether to decode a subsequent code block from the plurality of code blocks based on the comparing. Furthermore, these methods and apparatuses may include determining not to decode at least one subsequent code block of the transport block where the comparing indicates that the reliability indicator is less than the reliability threshold. As such, device power is not unnecessarily consumed by decoding likely superfluous code blocks.
