Efficient signal processing algorithms are important for embedded and power-limited
applications since, by reducing the number of computations, power consumption can be …

The need to transmit and store massive amounts of data reliably and without error is a vital
part of modern communications systems. Error-correcting codes play a fundamental role in …

Fundamentals of Convolutional Coding, Second Edition, regarded as a bible of
convolutional coding brings you a clear and comprehensive discussion of the basic …

Introduction to Convolutional Codes with Applications is an introduction to the basic
concepts of convolutional codes, their structure and classification, various error correction …

We present a trellis-based maximum-likelihood soft-decision sequential decoding algorithm
(MLSDA) for binary convolutional codes. Simulation results show that, for (2, 1, 6) and (2, 1 …

Although sequential decoding of convolutional codes gives a very small decoding error
probability, the overall reliability is limited by the probability PG of deficient decoding, the …

A sequential decoder for linear block codes that performs maximum-likelihood soft-decision
decoding is described. The decoder uses a metric computed from a lower bound on the cost …

A sequential sequence estimator for channels with finite or infinite intersymbol interference
(ISI) is proposed. It consists of a whitened matched filter followed by a sequential algorithm …

This article surveys many variants of sequential decoding in literature. Rather than
introducing them chronologically, this article first presents the Algorithm A, a general …

This paper presents new computationally efficient and accurate techniques for estimating
the performance of specific high-rate punctured convolutional codes and uses these …
