In the "theory section" of this chapter, the calculation of the branch metrics ${\it \Gamma}_i(S_{\mu})$ has been discussed in detail, based on the Hamming distance $d_{\rm H}(\underline{x}\hspace{0.05cm}', \ \underline{y}_i)$ between the possible codewords $\underline{x}\hspace{0.05cm}' ∈ \{00, \, 01, \, 10, \, 11\}$ and the 2–bit–words $\underline{y}_i$ received at time $i$ is based.
The exercise deals exactly with this topic. In the adjacent graph
- the considered trellis is shown– valid for the code with rate $R = 1/2$, memory $m = 2$ and $\mathbf{G}(D) = (1 + D + D^2, \ 1 + D^2)$,
- are the received words $\underline{y}_1 = (01), \hspace{0.05cm}\text{ ...} \hspace{0.05cm} , \ \underline{y}_7 = (11)$ indicated in the rectangles,
- are all branch metrics ${\it \Gamma}_0(S_{\mu}), \hspace{0.05cm}\text{ ...} \hspace{0.05cm} , \ {\it \Gamma}_4(S_{\mu})$ already entered.
For example, the branch metric ${\it \Gamma}_4(S_0)$ with $\underline{y}_4 = (01)$ as the minimum of the two comparison values
- ${\it \Gamma}_3(S_0) + d_{\rm H}((00), \ (01)) = 3 + 1 = 4$, and
- ${\it \Gamma}_3(S_2) + d_{\rm H}((11), \ (01)) = 2 + 1 = 3$.
The surviving branch – here from ${\it \Gamma}_3(S_2)$ to ${\it \Gamma}_4(S_0)$ – is drawn solid, the eliminated branch from ${\it \Gamma}_3(S_0)$ to ${\it \Gamma}_4(S_0)$ dotted. Red arrows represent the information bit $u_i = 0$, blue arrows $u_i = 1$.
In the subtask (4) the relationship between
- the ${\it \Gamma}_i(S_{\mu})$ minimization and
- the ${\it \Lambda}_i(S_{\mu})$ maximization.
shall be worked out. Here, we refer to the nodes ${\it \Lambda}_i(S_{\mu})$ as metrics, where the metric increment over the predecessor nodes results from the correlation value $〈\underline{x}_i\hspace{0.05cm}', \, \underline{y}_i 〉$ . For more details on this topic, see the following theory pages:
- "Relationship between Hamming distance and correlation"
- "Viterbi algorithm based on correlation and metrics"
- "Viterbi decision for non–terminated convolutional codes".
Hints:
- The exercise refers to the chapter "Decoding Convolutional Codes".
- For the time being, the search of surviving paths is not considered. This will be dealt with for the same example in the later "Exercise 3.11".

Die linke Grafik zeigt das endgültig ausgewertete ${\it \Gamma}_i(S_{\mu})$–Trellis.
(2) Zum Zeitpunk $i = 6$ ist bereits die Terminierung wirksam und es gibt nur noch zwei Fehlergrößen. Für diese erhält man mit $\underline{y}_6 = (01)$:
- $${\it \Gamma}_6(S_0) \hspace{-0.15cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.15cm}{\rm min} \left [{\it \Gamma}_{5}(S_0) + d_{\rm H} \big ((00)\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} (01) \big )\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.2cm}{\it \Gamma}_{5}(S_2) + d_{\rm H} \big ((11)\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} (01) \big ) \right ] ={\rm min} \left [ 3+1\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} 2+1 \right ] \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{= 3}\hspace{0.05cm},$$
- $${\it \Gamma}_6(S_2) \hspace{-0.15cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.15cm}{\rm min} \left [{\it \Gamma}_{5}(S_1) + d_{\rm H} \big ((10)\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} (01) \big )\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.2cm}{\it \Gamma}_{5}(S_3) + d_{\rm H} \big ((01)\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} (01) \big ) \right ] ={\rm min} \left [ 3+2\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} 3+0 \right ] \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{= 3}\hspace{0.05cm}.$$
(3) Der Endwert ergibt sich zu
- $${\it \Gamma}_7(S_0) \hspace{-0.15cm} \ = \ \hspace{-0.15cm}{\rm min} \left [{\it \Gamma}_{6}(S_0) + d_{\rm H} \big ((00)\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} (11) \big )\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.2cm}{\it \Gamma}_{6}(S_2) + d_{\rm H} \big ((11)\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} (11) \big ) \right ] ={\rm min} \left [ 3+2\hspace{0.05cm},\hspace{0.05cm} 3+0 \right ] \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{= 3}\hspace{0.05cm}.$$
Beim BSC–Modell kann man aus ${\it \Gamma}_7(S_{\mu}) = 3$ darauf schließen, dass drei Übertragungsfehler aufgetreten sind ⇒ Lösungsvorschläge 1 und 3.
(4) Richtig sind die Aussagen 1 und 2:
- Die Maximierung der Metriken ${\it \Lambda}_i(S_{\mu})$ entsprechend der rechten Skizze in obiger Grafik liefert das gleiche Ergebnis wie die links dargestellte Minimierung der Fehlergrößen ${\it \Gamma}_i(S_{\mu})$. Auch die überlebenden und gestrichenen Zweige sind in beiden Grafiken identisch.
- Die angegebene Gleichung ist ebenfalls richtig, was hier nur am Beispiel $i = 7$ gezeigt wird:
- $${\it \Lambda}_7(S_0)) = 2 \cdot \big [i - {\it \Gamma}_7(S_0) \big ] = 2 \cdot \big [7 - 3 \big ] \hspace{0.15cm}\underline{= 8}\hspace{0.05cm}.$$
- Die letzte Aussage ist falsch. Vielmehr gilt $〈x_i', \, y_i〉 ∈ \{–2, \, 0, \, +2\}$.
Hinweis: In der Aufgabe 3.11 wird für das gleiche Beispiel die Pfadsuche demonstiert, wobei von den ${\it \Lambda}_i(S_{\mu})$–Metriken gemäß der rechten Grafik ausgegangen wird.
