Decoding method and apparatus

A receiving device, wherein the receiving device comprises:

• one or more processors and a memory, wherein
• the memory is configured to store computer program code, the computer program code comprises computer instructions, and when the one or more processors execute the computer instructions, the receiving device is caused to receive a demodulation reference signal sent by the sending device through the control channel;
• estimate channel quality of the control channel according to the demodulation reference signal;
• select a first decoding algorithm when the channel quality of the control channel meets a first condition;
• and
• select a second decoding algorithm when the channel quality of the control channel meets a second condition, wherein
• channel quality meeting the first condition is better than channel quality meeting the second condition, a decoding delay of the first decoding algorithm is less than a decoding delay of the second decoding algorithm, and decoding reliability of the first decoding algorithm is smaller than decoding reliability of the second decoding algorithm.

A computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium is configured to store a computer program, and the computer program, when being executed, is caused to receive a demodulation reference signal sent by the sending device through the control channel;

• estimate channel quality of the control channel according to the demodulation reference signal;
• select a first decoding algorithm when the channel quality of the control channel meets a first condition;
• and
• select a second decoding algorithm when the channel quality of the control channel meets a second condition, wherein
• channel quality meeting the first condition is better than channel quality meeting the second condition, a decoding delay of the first decoding algorithm is less than a decoding delay of the second decoding algorithm, and decoding reliability of the first decoding algorithm is smaller than decoding reliability of the second decoding algorithm.
