Abstract
The disclosed technology provides systems and methods for identifying potential error locations, patterns, and likelihood metrics in connection with trellis-based detection/decoding. In one aspect of the invention, the disclosed technology detects information that was previously encoded based on a trellis, and decodes the detected information based on the trellis to provide decoded information. The decoded information corresponds to a winning path through the trellis that ends at a winning state. The disclosed technology can identify one or more alternate paths through the trellis that also end at the winning state, and can generate a potential error pattern for each of the alternate paths.
