Zusammenfassung:Systems and related methods are described for 1 determining one or more state probabilities for one or more states in a trellis representation 2 or determining an estimate of or extrinsic output for one or more bits using a trellis representation by performing MAXast operations on group of parallel branches of the trellis, performing a MAXast operation involving forward or backward state metrics, and determining said state probabilities or said extrinsic output 3 determining a branch metric for a branch in a trellis representation 4 performing a MAXast 2->1 operation using lookup tables 5 performing a MAXast 2?p¿->1 operation, where p is an integer of two or more, through a hierarchical arrangement of MAXast 2->1 operations and 6 computing forward state probabilities in a forward mode of operation and computing backward state probabilities in a backward mode of operation. Combinations of the foregoing are also described. Systems and related methods are described for (1) determining one or more state probabilities for one or more states in a trellis representation; (2) determining an estimate of or extrinsic output for one or more bits using a trellis representation; (3) determining a branch metric for a branch in a trellis representation; (4) performing a MAX* 2->1 operation; (5) performing a MAX* 2->1 operation, where p is an integer of two or more, through a hierarchical arrangement of MAX* 2->1 operations; and (6) computing forward state probabilities in a forward mode of operation and computing backward state probabilities in a backward mode of operation. Combinations of the foregoing are also described. La présente invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés associés permettant (1) de déterminer une ou plusieurs probabilités d'état concernant un ou plusieurs états dans une représentation en treillis, (2) de déterminer une entrée estimée ou extrinsèque concernant un ou plusieurs bits utilisant une représentation en treillis, (3) de déterminer un élément métrologique de branche pour une branche de représentation en treillis, (4) d'effectuer un calcul de MAX* 2->1, (5) d'effectuer un calcul de MAX* 2->1 dans lesquels p est un entier au moins égal à deux, dans un arrangement hiérarchique de calculs de MAX* 2->1 et, (6) de calculer par déroulement les probabilités d'état dans un mode de déroulement de calcul. Cette invention concerne aussi des combinaisons des éléments susmentionnés.
