Abstract:
This paper proposes a modification of the soft output Viterbi decoding algorithm(SOVA)which combines convolution code with Huffman coding. The idea is to extract the bit probability information from the Huffman coding and use it to compute the a priori source information which can be used when the channel environment is bad. The suggested scheme does not require changes on the transmitter side. Compared with separate decoding systems, the gain in signal to noise ratio is about 0.5-1.0 dB with a limited added complexity. Simulation results show that the suggested algorithm is effective.
