Abstract
The present invention provides a method for reducing transmitted energy based on early decoding. The method includes accessing a first portion of a block including a plurality of symbols indicative of an encoded message. The first portion has been transmitted at a first transmission power and having less than all of the plurality of symbols. The method also includes attempting to decode the encoded message using the first portion of the block, determining whether the encoded message was decoded, and providing an indication of a second transmission power in response to determining that the encoded message was decoded.
Claims12
A method, comprising:
- accessing a first portion of a block including a plurality of symbols indicative of an encoded message, the first portion having been transmitted at a first transmission power and having less than all of the plurality of symbols;
- attempting to decode the encoded message using the first portion of the block;
- determining whether the encoded message was decoded;
- providing an indication of a second transmission power in response to determining that the encoded message was decoded;
- and
- accessing at least one second portion of the block, each second portion of the block comprising less than all of the plurality of symbols.
A method, comprising:
- accessing a first portion of a block including a plurality of symbols indicative of an encoded message, the first portion having been transmitted at a first transmission power and having less than all of the plurality of symbols;
- attempting to decode the encoded message using the first portion of the block;
- determining whether the encoded message was decoded;
- providing an indication of a second transmission power in response to determining that the encoded message was decoded;
- and
- providing an indication of a third transmission power substantially after providing the indication of the second transmission power.
A method, comprising:
- providing a first portion of a block including a plurality of symbols indicative of an encoded message, the first portion being provided at a first transmission power and having less than all of the plurality of symbols;
- receiving an indication of a second transmission power in response to providing the first portion of the block;
- providing a second portion of the block at the second transmission power;
- and
- receiving an indication of a third transmission power substantially after receiving the indication of the second transmission power.
