<p>Decoder circuitry, and an associated method, decodes an encoded signal received at a receiver. A determination is made of the levels of distortion introduced upon a signal during its transmission to a receiver upon a nonideal communication channel. If the communication channel introduces moderate amounts of distortion upon the signal, a complex decoding technique such as a standard trellis decoding technique is utilized to decode the signal. If the channel is determined to introduce only small levels of distortion upon the signal, a relatively simple, decoding technique is instead utilized.</p> |
