Abstract
A method and apparatus for radically abbreviated decoding for providing decoded data by dividing a stream of data symbols, which form the decoder input, into symbol bit streams. The symbol bit streams are combined with delayed data streams in a first formatting means forming formatted bit streams. The formatted bit streams are applied to a selecting means for selecting bits from the formatted bit streams, forming a selected formatted bit stream. The selected formatted bit stream is applied to a sequential storage means forming delayed bits. The delayed bits are tapped from different points on the sequential storage means forming weighted bits. The weighted bits are then combined with a second formatting means further forming the delayed data streams, where the selected formatted bit stream is the decoded data.
