I've got a really good idea of how Viterbi decoding works, but I'm working with someone who needs to look at some code that I've written and understand it.  He's got a software engineering background, but no real comms experience.

Are there any good discussions out there of how Viterbi decoding works that are relatively standalone?  It doesn't have to go deep into the theory -- just something that demonstrates the mechanics of going from an encoded and corrupted bitstream to a decoded (and hopefully correct) bitstream.

I've directed a few people to this same URL--good for grasping the concept.

Oooh.  Looks good.  I'll forward the link -- thanks.
