PIPELINE PROCESSING VITERBI DECODER

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the throughout by executing in parallel the path metric calculation and comparison. CONSTITUTION:The path metric value of added output selected by selectors 37, 38 is compared and path selecting information is outputted to a comparator 41 in adding the next path metric value by adders 31-34. Since the path metric value of the preceding added output is compared by the comparator 41, the pipeline processing is attained.
