Zusammenfassung:An embodiment of a method for decoding is disclosed. For this embodiment of the method, a decoder is limited to a set number of iterations for a decoding sequence. The set number of iterations is selected to be less than an optimal number of iterations for an optimal bit error rate ("BER") resulting in a BER penalty. Inner loop decoding operations are performed within the decoder for the set number of iterations. Reliability information is output from the decoder to a data slicer. A symbol stream is output from the data slicer responsive to the reliability information.
