ABSTRACT:
A method of decoding a sequence of samples received over a communications channel, such as a partial response channel, in which the sequence represents a length k binary bit stream encoded as a sequence of bipolar symbols comprised of q groups of L symbols, each length L group of said symbols corresponding to one of 2.sup.m subwords having a predetermined block digital sum. The decoding method makes use of the structure of the encoding method by finding, in one illustrative embodiment, for each group of L samples, the maximum likelihood path through a time varying trellis supporting the sets of subwords having predetermined block digital sums to identify said subwords; recording the state metrics and branch metrics for each path and identifying, from the metrics the maximum likelihood path, the order of concatenation of the subwords.
