Abstract
A decoder having an input configured to receive a sequence of softbits presumed to correspond to a convolutionally-encoded codeword; and a decoding circuit configured to: determine, as part of a decoding process, a Maximum Likelihood (ML) survivor path in a trellis representation of the codeword; determine whether the presumed convolutionally-encoded codeword meets an early-termination criteria; and abort the decoding process if the presumed convolutionally-encoded codeword meets the early-termination criteria, continue the decoding process if the presumed convolutionally-encoded codeword fails to meet the early-termination criteria.
