维特比译码的C程序

/* Viterbi decoder for K=7 rate=1/2 convolutional code
 * continuous traceback version
 * Copyright 1996 Phil Karn, KA9Q
 *
 * This version of the Viterbi decoder reads a continous stream of
 * 8-bit soft decision samples from standard input in offset-binary
 * form, i.e., a 255 sample is the strongest possible "1" symbol and a
 * 0 is the strongest possible "0" symbol. 128 is an erasure (unknown).
 *
 * The decoded output is written to stdout in big-endian form (the first
 * decoded bit appears in the high order bit of the first output byte).
 *
 * The metric table is fixed, and no attempt is made (yet) to find proper
 * symbol synchronization. These are likely future enhancements.

/* This parameter sizes the path memory in bits, which is organized as a
 * circular buffer through which we periodically "trace back" to
 * produce the decoded data. PATHMEM must be greater than
 * MERGEDIST+TRACECHUNK, and for efficiency it should also be a power of 2.
 * Don't make it *too* large, or it will spill out of the CPU's on-chip cache
 * and decrease performance. Each bit of path memory costs 8 bytes for the
 * K=7 code.

/* In theory, a Viterbi decoder is true maximum likelihood only if
 * the path memory is as long as the entire message and a single traceback
 * is made from the terminal state (usually zero) after the entire message
 * is received.
 *
 * In practice, performance is essentially optimum as long as decoding
 * decisions are deferred by at least 4-5 constraint lengths (28-35 bits
 * for K=7) from the most recently received symbols. MERGEDIST sets this
 * parameter. We give ourselves some margin here in case the code is
 * punctured (which slows merging) and also to let us start each traceback
 * from an arbitrary current state instead of taking the time to find the
 * path with the highest current metric.
 */
#define	MERGEDIST	64	/* Distance to trace back before decoding */

/* Since each traceback is costly (thanks to the overhead of having to
 * go back MERGEDIST bits before we produce our first decoded bit) we'd like
 * to decode as many bits as possible per traceback at the expense of
 * increased decoding delay. TRACECHUNK sets how many bits to
 * decode on each traceback. Since output is produced in 8-bit bytes,
 * TRACECHUNK MUST be a multiple of 8.
 */
#define	TRACECHUNK	64	/* How many bits to decode on each traceback */

/* The path metrics need to be periodicially adjusted downward
 * to prevent an integer overflow that could cause the signed comparisons
 * in the butterfly macros to fail.
 *
 * It's possible to code the comparisons to work in modulo fashion, e.g.,
 * as 'if((a-b) > 0)' rather than 'if(a >b)'. A good optimizer would generate
 * code like 'cmp a,b;js foo' for this, but GCC doesn't.
 *
 * This constant should be larger than the maximum path metric spread.
 * Experimentally this seems to be 2040, which is probably related to the
 * free distance of the code (10) and the symbol metric scale (0-255).
