Abstract
A method for near maximum-likelihood sequential decoding is provided. According to the method, paths unlikely to become the maximum-likely path are deleted during decoding through a level threshold to reduce decoding complexity. Besides, the method performs maximum-likelihood decoding through sequential decoding by adopting a metric, so that a received signal does not have to go through a hard decision procedure.
