Abstract :
Maximum likelihood (ML) decoding of short constraint length convolutional codes became feasible with the invention of the Viterbi decoder. Several authors have since upper bounded the performance of ML decoders. A method to calculate the event error probability of an ML decoder for convolutional codes is described.
