PCT No. PCT/FI96/00646 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 1, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 1, 1997 PCT Filed Dec. 3, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/21275 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 12, 1997A method and a receiver for forming transition metrics in the receiver of a digital cellular radio system. The receiver includes a hardware implementation of a transition metrics calculation unit for Viterbi decoding. The receiver includes a shift register for storing coefficients of a generator polynomial of a convolutional code. The receiver also includes masking means arranged to mask a state of the Viterbi decoding by the coefficients of the polynomial. The receiver has odd parity means arranged to form a parity bit of the state of the masked Viterbi decoding, the parity bit being arranged to control a block forming the transition metrics.
