Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have proposed a recursive maximum likelihood decoding algorithm (RMLD) for linear block codes. In this paper, we apply RMLD to binary convolutional codes. The computational complexity of the RMLD algorithm is analyzed in terms of the number of addition-equivalent operations. The decoding complexity from time 0 to time t is defined as the complexity to compute the largest metric as well as its iabel for each state at time t among the paths from the initial state to the state when the symbols from time 1 to time t is received. The complexity from time 0 to time t of RMLD depends on the recursive sectionalization of the trellis. For some convolutional codes, we show that they have serially decodable sectionalizations which minimize the entire decoding complexity. We estimate the decoding complexity of these codes. For example, for a code with 2^<10> state in encoder, the decoding complexity is reduced to 48%.
