Abstract
A method of determining a current trellis describing a plurality of paths starting from an initial state, the paths having a predetermined length smaller than or equal to a maximum length, consists of storing a reference trellis comprising all the paths of the trellis of maximum length, extracting the paths of the current trellis from the reference trellis, taking into account the maximum length, the length of the current trellis, and the initial state of the paths.
