Maximum likelihood decoding — BSC Hamming metric and AWGN Euclidean metric

by

Detection path: ML estimation → ML decoding → Hard vs soft decision → Hamming codes In one sentence: Maximum-likelihood decoding picks the codeword that maximizes the channel likelihood of the received word — on a BSC that reduces to nearest Hamming neighbor when the crossover probability is below one half.  Introduction Maximum likelihood decoding … Read more
