A reconfigurable, power-efficient adaptive Viterbi decoder.

A reconfigurable, power-efficient adaptive Viterbi decoder.

Error-correcting convolutional codes provide a proven mechanism to limit the effects of noise in digital data transmission. Although hardware implementations of decoding algorithms, such as the Viterbi algorithm, have shown good noise tolerance for error-correcting codes, these implementations requi...
