Abstract
A method and device for decoding data. The device and method select certain current states from all possible states of an encoder for each of encoded data, generate accumulated conditional probabilities (ACPS) for the selected current states, compare the ACPs with a threshold value, and store previous states associated with the ACPs based on the comparison results. The stored previous states are selectively output according to a predetermined scheme to generate decoded data.
