Abstract

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