Abstract: A data processing arrangement (MPS) comprises a plurality of data processors (SPR, PM1, . . . , PM4) that can be reset individually. A reset module (RSM) handles various reset request signals (HRG, SRG, SRP1, . . . , SRP4) in accordance with a prioritization and timing scheme so as to obtain respective reset signals (GRS, PRS1, . . . , PRS4) for respective data processors (SPR, PM1, . . . , PM4). The reset module (RSM) preferably comprises a reset request register, which stores respective reset requests that the respective reset request signals convey, and a request execute register, which stores respective granted reset requests that the reset signals convey.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for decoding data, said method using windows (WID) of input data. The invention is characterized in that it comprises for a current window the steps of:—Performing a forward recursion, wherein said forward recursion is initialized with a forward state metric vector (a) from the upper stake (STK) of the previous window of the same step of the previous iteration, a window (WID) comprising a lower and an upper stake (STK), and—Performing a backward recursion, wherein said backward recursion is initialized with a backward state metric vector (b) from the lower stake (STK) of the next window of the same step of the previous iteration. Use: Receiver in a communication system.
