function L_all = sova(rec_s, g, L_a, ind_dec) 
% This function implememts Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm in trace back mode 
% Input: 
%       rec_s: scaled received bits. rec_s(k) = 0.5 * L_c(k) * y(k) 
%              L_c = 4 * a * Es/No, reliability value of the channel
%              y: received bits
%       g:  encoder generator matrix in binary form, g(1,:) for feedback, g(2,:) for feedforward
%       L_a: a priori information about the info. bits. Extrinsic info. from the previous
%             component decoder
%       ind_dec: index of the component decoder. 
%	          =1: component decoder 1; The trellis is terminated to all zero state
%    	          =2: component decoder 2; The trellis is not perfectly terminated.
% Output:
%       L_all: log ( P(x=1|y) ) / ( P(x=-1|y) )
