Hi, I have done convolutional codeing (length =3, rate=1/2) and viterbi hard decoding. The steps I have followed are: Data --> Convolutional Encoder --> QPSK Modulation --> Channel --> Demodulation --> Viterbi Hard Decoding The above steps give me good result for AWGN channel. Can anyone plz tell me how is the Soft Viterbi Decoding differ from the above mentioned hard viterbi decoding? w

Hi, I once simulated Viterbi decoder (I programmed the code, not Matlab function or block) with Matlab without any problem. Now I implement Viterbi decoder in TI DSP with fixed point short date type. I have puzzled with the integer wrapped problem. I think I have some incorrect understanding on the implementation. TI has a DSP pdf application note talking about Viterbi decoder (

Hi all, I am using Viterbi and Viterbi algorithm for estimating phase of the carrier in a 8psk demodulator. I am facing problem relating to cycle slips and observing that half of my burst is demodulated correctly and the rest of the burst has a constant phase offset. My training symbol is able to correct the phase offset in the section before cycle slip. I have tried to find out the cycle sl...

How do you compute a soft Viterbi metric? I have gone through this excellent tutorial on the Viterbi decoder: http://home.netcom.com/~chip.f/viterbi/tutorial.html It is for a hard decision decoder, which makes it easy to compute the metrics. In the hard decsion case, if I receive [1,1] say, then the metric compared to [0,0] is 2. Suppose I received [0.9,1.1] in the soft decsion case. Is...

Hello, Can any one point me to paper/book which tabulates the performance of MAP decoder when compared to Viterbi. I see most sites only mentioning that the MAP algorithm outperforms Viterbi at low SNR and high BER condition. Can any one tell me how much is the performance gain by using MAP at low SNR conditions. Thanks Sudhi

Dear All, I am learning how to use viterbi in GSM Channel Equalization. As a newer, I have some basic questions about this method. Q1, What I learn from textbook, viterbi can handle bit sequence with some mistakes, and output correct bit sequence. How can it handle complex data inputs? Because the received signal are complex. Q2, Can you kindly introduce some papers with simple math deriv...

Hello I wanted to know the difference that can exist between(among) a flow of bits that goes out of a decodificador viterbi + Reed solomon and the flow of bits originally in a transmission of tdt cofdm That is to say: do I obtain the same result to the exit of the corrector Reed Solomon with a BER before Viterbi of 9-6 that with a BER before Viterbi of 2-2? Said otherwise: Do I obtain...

Hi Group, Is there a power dissipation model for the Viterbi decoder as a function of the constraint length, the code rate and the operating data rate?? I know that the answer depends on many other factors such as the fabrication process, implemention of the Viterbi algo etc. But, I am looking out for an emperical equation which relates the power consumption as a function of the code pa...

Viterbi Input, Branch Metrics, and the TI VCU What is the input to the (hard-output) Viterbi decoder, and how is a branch metric computed? Here are what I think are the correct answers: Inputs: The inputs are either hard bits (i.e., x_n \in {-1, +1}) or soft bits (i.e., x_n \in [-1, +1]), depending on the Viterbi implementation. Branch Metrics: If the inputs are hard bits, then...

Hi All: while looking at GSM literature, i found it quite interesting in how GMSK is demodulated. In simulink library, the baseband GMSK demodulator included a hard decision viterbi decoder. In my mind viterbi decoder is used for error correction of convolutional encoded channel data. In one GSM simulink model i was looking at, after demodulator(which included viterbi decoder), the data ...
