Abstract

This document describes techniques for decoding a convolutionally coded signal using a trellis decoder in a drift robust manner. A convolutionally coded and differentially modulated signal may be received. The signal may be decoded using a trellis. A noise prediction loop may be used to reduce noise characteristics of the signal. A frequency offset estimation loop may be used to reduce a frequency offset drift of the signal. The noise prediction loop and the frequency offset estimation loop may be applied at each branch of the trellis.
