Abstract

A technique for processing information in a wireless communication network is described. In a method in accordance with the technique, a signal encoded with a convolution code is received. The encoded signal comprises information and a check value. The encoded signal is decoded using a Viterbi algorithm to derive the information and the check value. The decoding includes computing a Viterbi state metric. A reliability parameter is then determined based on the Viterbi state metric. The information is selectively processed depending on both the check value and the reliability parameter.
