1996 IEEE International Conference on Application-Specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP'96) High-Speed Viterbi Decoder: An Efficient Scheduling Method to Exploit the Pipelining Chicago, IL August 19-August 23 ISBN: 0-8186-7542-X
The main part of the Viterbi Algorithm is a nonlinear feedback loop which presents a bottleneck for high-speed implementations. We present a novel scheduling scheme that allows increasing the available speed of the system. This is done through the utilization of look-ahead techniques to compute non--sequential data and, in this way, break the recursivity of the algorithm. This permits introducing pipelining. As a result, we obtain a speed growth comparable to previous parallel solutions, but with less hardware cost.
