Derivation of Mutual Information and Linear Minimum Mean-Square Error for Viterbi Decoding of Convolutional Codes Using the Innovations Method

Abstract: We apply the innovations method to Viterbi decoding of convolutional codes. First, we calculate the covariance matrix of the innovation (i.e., the soft-decision input to the main decoder in ...
