Abstract
A reconfigurable decoder is capable of performing both Viterbi decoding and turbo decoding. The reconfigurable decoder may be repeatedly reconfigured to work with any of a number of different convolutional or turbo coding schemes. In at least one embodiment, the reconfigurable decoder is capable of automatically reconfiguring itself based on a present signal environment about a communication device carrying the decoder.
