  • Initializing decoding metrics
    Patent number: 8650468
    Abstract: A method includes, during a first iteration of a first decoder for decoding convolutionally encoded data elements, determining a first value of a first path metric. The method also includes, during a second iteration of the first decoder, determining a second value of the first path metric by using the first value of the first path metric as an initial value of the first path metric.
