Abstract
A soft-decision stack algorithm with a variable-bias-term branch metric and accurate channel state information estimate is applied to a Reed-Solomon-encoded phase-shift keying (PSK) system in the presence of memoryless Rayleigh fading. To compensate for the variable decoding delay inherent in sequential decoding algorithms, a time-out mechanism is used by the inner decoder: if a time-out occurs before complete decoding of a given block, the decoder declares an erasure. An erasures-and-errors correction decoding algorithm is implemented at the outer decoder to recover any incorrect or incompletely decoded inner code words. Simulation results show that significant improvement over uncoded modulation can be achieved with this approach with moderate cost in decoding complexity.
