Abstract

In digital transmission systems source encoders are used to remove redundancy from the source's output data in order to save transmission bandwidth. As the compressed data is sensitive against transmission errors channel encoding is used to perform forward error correction. For practical reasons, source coding schemes produce multilevel parameters with nonzero residual redundancy which manifests itself in a nonuniform p.d.f. of a parameter and/or in the correlation of subsequent parameter values. The objective of this paper is to derive methods to exploit multilevel a priori knowledge within the detection process of channel decoding. Joint a priori probabilities of bit groups are taken into consideration within the path metrics of the Viterbi algorithm.
