Input bits are read from the input buffer.
The input transport format is read; current block number and valid length of every block is calculated. If no coding is selected, data is output directly with hard decision, otherwise Viterbi decoding is performed to every data block.
Viterbi decoding
The initial state of register is used to decode since the initial state of encoder is all 0. Not all states can be reached in the first K-1(K is constraint length of convolutional encoder) steps; this feature can be used to calculate the metrics of every possible state and store the paths.
The metrics and the survivor paths are calculated until the present decoding bit index equals parameter L(L=5K). In this period no output is given.
The metrics and the survivor path calculations continue and export the previous L th decoding bit until the present decoding bit is the K th bit to the end of the block.
Tail bit information is used to decode and export the previous L th decoding bit. Since the last K-1 bits of input block are known as all zeros, not all states can be reached in the last few steps. This feature is used to calculate the metrics of every possible state and the survival paths of those states.
Decoding of the last bit and exporting of all bits in this block. Since the last state is 0 in this block, there is only one survivor after decoding the last bit. All bits in this path as the decoding bits can then be exported.
All decoded data is output into the output buffer.
