Sequential decoding, commonly applied to substitution channels, is a sub-optimal alternative to Viterbi decoding with significantly reduced memory costs. In this work, a sequential decoder for convolutional codes over channels that are…

In this paper, soft-decision (SD) decoders of permutation trellis code (PTC) with $M$-ary frequency shift keying are designed using three optimization algorithms and presented in four decoding schemes. In a concatenated code such as PTC,…

Standard decoding approaches for convolutional codes, such as the Viterbi and BCJR algorithms, entail significant complexity when correcting synchronization errors. The situation worsens when multiple received sequences should be jointly…

This paper presents a comprehensive guide to designing minimal trellises for both non-degenerate and degenerate decoding of quantum stabilizer codes. For non-degenerate decoding, various strategies are explored, leveraging insights from…

In this paper we propose a matched encoding (ME) scheme for convolutionally encoded transmission over intersymbol interference (usually called ISI) channels. A novel trellis description enables to perform equalization and decoding jointly,…

The forthcoming Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard adopts the trellis-coded quantization, which leverages the delicate trellis graph to map the quantization candidates within one block into the optimal path. Despite the high compression…

We consider the decoding of convolutional codes using an error trellis constructed based on a submatrix of a given check matrix. In the proposed method, the syndrome-subsequence computed using the remaining submatrix is utilized as…

We study variable-length feedback (VLF) codes under a strict delay constraint to maximize their average transmission rate (ATR) in a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) while considering periodic decoding attempts. We first derive a lower…

Based on the notion of supercodes, we propose a two-phase maximum-likelihood soft-decision decoding (tpMLSD) algorithm for binary linear block codes in this work. The first phase applies the Viterbi algorithm backwardly to a trellis derived…

Run length limited (RLL) codes are used in visible light communication (VLC) to avoid flicker and to support different dimming ranges such that communication is not affected by the variation in light intensity. In this paper, we propose a…

Sparse intersymbol-interference (ISI) channels are encountered in a variety of high-data-rate communication systems. Such channels have a large channel memory length, but only a small number of significant channel coefficients. In this…

This paper considers the average complexity of maximum likelihood (ML) decoding of convolutional codes. ML decoding can be modeled as finding the most probable path taken through a Markov graph. Integrated with the Viterbi algorithm (VA),…

A List Viterbi detector produces a rank ordered list of the N globally best candidates in a trellis search. A List Viterbi detector structure is proposed that incorporates the noise prediction with periodic state-metric updates based on…

Theoretical analysis has long indicated that feedback improves the error exponent but not the capacity of single-user memoryless channels. Recently Polyanskiy et al. studied the benefit of variable-length feedback with termination (VLFT)…

Recently, rate-1/n zero-terminated (ZT) and tail-biting (TB) convolutional codes (CCs) with cyclic redundancy check (CRC)-aided list decoding have been shown to closely approach the random-coding union (RCU) bound for short blocklengths.…

We construct a hybrid quantum-classical Viterbi decoder for the classical error-correcting codes. Viterbi decoding is a trellis-based procedure for maximum likelihood decoding of classical error-correcting codes. In this article, we…

Traditional wireless communications rely solely on bit-level channel coding for error correction, without exploiting the inherent linguistic structure of the data source. This paper proposes a large language model (LLM) Viterbi decoder that…

This paper presents a reliability-based decoding scheme for variable-length coding with feedback and demonstrates via simulation that it can achieve higher rates than Polyanskiy et al.'s random coding lower bound for variable-length…

Trellis decoders are a general decoding technique first applied to qubit-based quantum error correction codes by Ollivier and Tillich in 2006. Here we improve the scalability and practicality of their theory, show that it has strong…

Let G be a finite strongly connected aperiodic directed graph in which each edge carries a label from a finite alphabet A. Then G induces a trellis coded quantizer for encoding an alphabet A memoryless source. A source sequence of long…
