<p>There is provided a Viterbi decoder which performs an ACS operation in the same order of time-series as branch metrics were computed in a decoding process, and restores transmission information as an array of survivors. There is also provided a transmitting equipment which transmits, to a receiving equipment incorporating the above Viterbi decoder, a transmission sequence that includes a bit sequence obtained by splitting transmission information into pieces having a prescribed word length and reversing the order on the time series after being subjected to coding that conforms to the Viterbi decoder. In a transmission system using such a Viterbi decoder and transmitting equipment, the flexibility relating to the standardization, designing, maintenance, and operation of equipment is increased and reduction in running cost and increase in reliability can be attained without deteriorating the performance or service quality. <IMAGE></p> |
