文摘:We consider the decoding of convolutional codes using an error trellis constructed based on a subma-trix of a given check matrix. In the proposed method, the syndrome-subsequence computed using the remaining submatrix is utilized as auxiliary information for decoding. Then the ML error path is correctly decoded using the degenerate error trellis. We also show that the decoding complexity of the proposed method is basically identical with that of the conventional one based on the original error trellis. Next, we apply the method to check matrices with monomial entries proposed by Tanner et ah By choosing any row of the check matrix as the submatrix for error-trellis construction, a 1-state error trellis is obtained. Noting the fact that a likelihood-concentration on the all-zero state and the states with many O's occurs in the error trellis, we present a simplified decoding method based on a 1-state error trellis, from which decoding-complexity reduction is realized.
