Abstract
The A algorithm is applied to maximum-likelihood soft-decision decodi ng of binary linear block codes, This paper gives a tutorial on the A algorithm, compares the decoding complexity with that of exhaustive s earch and Viterbi decoding algorithms, and presents performance curves obtained for several codes.
