Abstract

We propose a decoding algorithm for tail-biting convolutional codes over phase noise channels. It can be seen as a reduced complexity approximation of maximum likelihood decoding. We target short blocks and extend the wrap-around Viterbi algorithm to trellises describing the random evolution of the phase impairment, for which we adopt two different models: a blockwise non-coherent and a blockwise Wiener channel model. Numerical results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is within a few tenths of dB or less from maximum likelihood decoding for the setup studied in this letter.
