Abstract
En 中文
Recently, a maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding algorithm with two phases has been proposed for convolutional tail-biting codes [1]. The first phase applies the Viterbi algorithm to obtain the trellis information. and then the second phase employs the algorithm A* to find the ML solution. In this work, we improve the complexity of the algorithm A* by using a new evaluation function. Simulations showed that the improved A* algorithm has over 5 times less average decoding complexity in the second phase when E-b/N-0 >= 4 dB.
