Method for modifying a channel encoder finite state machine, and method for channel encoding

摘要

A method is disclosed for deriving channel encoder FSMs of improved noise resilience, as are several channel encoder FSMs derived therewith. In the method, RMTR paths (201) are identified for a given encoder FSM, state transitions of RMTR paths (201) are redirected into an added FSM state, and state transitions from the added state back into the FSM are selected in full search. Full search effort is reduced by applying skipping criteria, and improved noise resilience is achieved by minimizing the number of RMTR paths (201).
