Abstract
A symbol-level pipelined structure for parallel systolic decoding of block codes which is a layered processor structure including a number of layers equal to the code length and each layer is adapted to decode the component codes of a concatenated code in sequence. The structure described provides efficient high rate decoding operation with an associated low cost and low hardware complexity.
