“…The purpose of this investigation was to examine the error location performance from the rate-1/2 Viterbi decoding process and its output, where each computer run was 500,000 bits long. There are two key performance parameters: A = (number of bits deleted by a specific error location technique)/(total number of bits in one run), which is used to estimate the efficiency, and 6 = (number of error digits deleted)/(total number 6 for various values of X, Y, 2, n, and n,, with n, = 15: metric differences (the unit for both A and 6 is per cent) SER: of error digits before error deletion), which is used to estimate the accuracy. In the following, we shall summarize our computer simulation study results.…”
