A RESYNCHRONIZATION TECHNIQUE FOR A SEQUENTIAL DECODER

Abstract

The report proposes a resynchronization technique for a Fano type sequential decoder. The method does not use repeat-request feedback or periodic restarting and is only employed when a buffer overflow indicates a very noisy channel condition. A program was written to execute this algorithm for a simulated Gaussian channel for several values of E/N sub o. The results imply that this is a feasible resynchronization scheme.
