Design of a Viterbi decoder with low power usingminimum-transition traceback scheme
Dae-Il Oh, Sun-Young Hwang · Electronics Letters · 1996
The authors propose a novel traceback scheme for the implementation of a low power Viterbi decoder. With minor modification of a conventional traceback scheme, the memory access count needed to perform the traceback function can be reduced by a factor of ~5.0–10.0 over the conventional traceback scheme. Experimental results confirm the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
