Abstract
A survival selection rule for determining a Viterbi output. A survival selection rule according to the present invention compares paths at a plurality of endpoint states but fewer than the total number of endpoint states. Viterbi detectors using the present invention provide high performance, easier implementation, and error degradation comparable to conventional methods.
