Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A technique for processing information in a wireless communication network is described. In a method in accordance with the technique, a signal encoded with a convolution code is received. The encoded signal comprises information and a check value. The encoded signal is decoded using a Viterbi algorithm to derive the information and the check value. The decoding includes computing a Viterbi state metric. A reliability parameter is then determined based on the Viterbi state metric. The information is selectively processed depending on both the check value and the reliability parameter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of processing information in a wireless communication network, the method comprising: receiving a signal encoded with a convolutional code, wherein the encoded signal comprises information and a check value and wherein the received signal is represented by soft bits; decoding the encoded signal using a Viterbi algorithm to derive the information and the check value, wherein the decoding includes computing a Viterbi state metric (Λ); derivi…
