METHOD FOR INITIALIZING A VITERBI DECODER IN FRAMED MODE

摘要

A method for initializing a VITERBI mechanism is provided. The general environment in which such a method is implicated is a state matrix which includes a plurality of stages, each of the stages including a plurality of potential states, having a VITERBI mechanism for analyzing a received signal, wherein the received signal defines a trail of states. The trail of states includes a single state at each of the stages and the signal includes a predetermined initial state. The VITERBI mechanism detects the trail.
