  • Patent number: 9461850
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for parallel data processing. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method for parallel data processing, comprising: receiving baseband data corresponding to multiple antennas from uplink data; converting the baseband data from time-domain signals to frequency-domain signals; processing the frequency-domain signals at least partially in parallel by multiple processing units in a general-purpose processor so as to restore transmitted code blocks; and constructing transmission block (TB) based on the transmitted code blocks. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for parallel data processing. By means of the method and apparatus of the present invention, the parallel data processing capacity of a general-purpose data processor may be used to process, in parallel as much as possible, data in uplink data transmission and further improve the receiver operation efficiency.
