    Abstract: The application relates to sliding-window maximum a posteriori MAP decoding. In a MAP decoder, a method for determining binary states of received signals comprises receiving data bits, each bit being accompanied by at least one parity bit, providing each received data bit and parity bit with an address (16a) of a calculated extrinsic value (14a) and associated intrinsic data and storing the data bits, the parity bits and the extrinsic value address in a first memory (12).

    Abstract: The sliding window approach to pipeline maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoder architecture is modified to decrease processing time. Once the forward metri cs have been calculated for the first sliding window of the decoder, the revers e metrics for each window are calculated while the forward metrics for the nex t window are calculated. As each new forward metric is calculated and stored into memory (14), the forward metric from the previous window is read from memory (14) for use with reverse metric being calculated in calculating extrinsic value. Each forward metric for use in calculating an extrinsic val ue is read from memory on the same clock edge that the new forward metric is written to the same memory location. Although this architecture was develope d for a turbo decoder, all convolution codes can use the MAP algorithm of the present inventioon.
