The Multiple Stack Algorithm Implemented on a Zilog Z-80 Microcomputer

A new sequential decoding algorithm, the multiple stack algorithm or MSA, has been implemented and tested on a Zilog Z-80 microcomputer system. The results of this implementation, when compared to those of a (2,1) 8 Viterbi algorithm implemented on the same microcomputer system, show that the MSA ob...

Description
Summary:A new sequential decoding algorithm, the multiple stack algorithm or MSA, has been implemented and tested on a Zilog Z-80 microcomputer system. The results of this implementation, when compared to those of a (2,1) 8 Viterbi algorithm implemented on the same microcomputer system, show that the MSA obtains significantly higher data throughput. These results suggest the feasibility of a real-time implementation of codes with along constraint lengths (in excess of eight) on small, low-cost microprocessors. (Author)
