US Patent 11923867 Iterative decoder with a dynamic maximum stop condition

Methods, systems, and apparatuses detect and mitigate a stall condition in an iterative decoder. A codeword is received and one or more of the plurality of bits in the codeword are flipped by a bit flipping decoder in each of a plurality of error correction iterations. In response to detecting a stall condition in the plurality of error correction iterations, a maximum stop condition is increased. The maximum stop condition is a maximum iteration count threshold or a maximum decoding time threshold. The maximum stop condition triggers a stopping of the bit flipping decoder if the codeword is not decoded when the maximum stop condition is satisfied.
