To decode a code by a small-scale, simple circuit construction, an element decoder ( 50 ) includes a to-be-decoded received data selection circuit ( 70 ) to select a to-be-decoded received data TSR. The element decoder ( 50 ) selects the to-be-decoded received value TSR by the to-be-decoded received value selection circuit ( 70 ), based on received value selection information CSR supplied from a control circuit ( 60 ), and supplies it to a soft-output decoding circuit ( 90 ). |
