A hardware-efficient technique to implement a trellis code modulation decoder.

This brief presents a new technique in implementing a very large-scale integration trellis code modulation (TCM) decoder. The technique aims to reduce hardware complexity and increase decoding throughput. The technique is introduced in the design of a Viterbi decoder. To simplify the decoding algori...
