Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the channel decoding field of wireless communication, and relates to a decoding algorithm, in particular to a maximum likelihood decoding algorithm of a tail-biting code. Background technique
[0002] Convolutional codes can be divided into traditional convolutional codes and tail-biting convolutional codes (Tail-Biting Convolutional Codes, TBCC) according to the different initialization methods of their encoders. Some block codes can be represented by tail-biting trellis diagrams, so such block codes and tail-biting convolutional codes are called tail-biting codes. The encoder of the traditional convolutional code is initialized with known bits (usually all 0 bits) and ends in a known state at the end of encoding; the encoder of TBCC is initialized with the last v' bit of the information sequence , where v'≤v, v is the length of the register in the encoder. According to the relationship between v' and v, TBCC can be divided ...
