Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides an error correction circuit for receiving and decoding a trellis-encoded signal of a series of data Z.sub.q, Z.sub.q-1, . . . ,Z.sub.1 which comprises convolutional-encoded bits and unencoded bits, the convolutional-encoded bits being obtained by convolutional-encoding lower t bits X.sub.t, X.sub.t-1, . . . ,X.sub.1 of an input p-bit series of data X.sub.p, X.sub.p-1, . . . , X.sub.1 (where p.gtoreq.2, q.gtoreq.p, and p>t.gtoreq.1), and the unencoded bits being obtained by not convolutional-encoding upper (p-t) bits thereof. The circuit includes: a maximum likelihood decoder for preselecting one of m parallel paths of transition from state x at time k to state y at time k+1.
