Abstract
A method (700) and apparatus (600) are described for performing decision voting in connection with a parallel ACS unit (110) and track buffer (112) in an Ultrawide Bandwidth (UWB) receiver having a parallel DECODER for decoding a message sequence encoded according to a convolutional code. Outputs from the track buffer can be input to a voting unit (620) where a voting scheme can be applied and a decision rendered as to the originally transmitted message sequence.
