Convolutional codes represent a cornerstone in modern communications, offering a method for continuously encoding data streams to mitigate errors due to interference and noise.

You can implement FEC techniques for linear block codes (Reed-Solomon codecs) and convolutional codes (Viterbi codecs). To understand this general implementation, look at the hardware behind these ...

Viterbi decoding, in conjunction with Reed-Solomon encoding, is one of the most undersung inventions of the 20th century. It's an exquisite mixture of logic, mathematics and engineering.

Lattice's Viterbi Decoder is a parameterizable IP core with an efficient algorithm for decoding different combinations of convolutionally-encoded sequences. (Convolutional encoding is a process of ...

The answer to this problem will lie in optimizing FEC coding schemes, such as the Viterbi algorithm, so they support the demanding requirements of the 802.11a specifications. To help out, this article ...
