Method and apparatus for implementing a maximum-likelihood decoder in a hypercube networkA method and a structure to implement maximum-likelihood decoding of convolutional codes on a network of microprocessors interconnected as an n-dimensional cube (hypercube). By proper reordering of states in the decoder, only communication between adjacent processors is required. Faster and more efficient operation is enabled, and decoding of large constraint length codes is feasible using standard VLSI technology.
