INTRODUCTION
The Viterbi Co-Processor (VCOP) is a dedicated, programmable peripheral module,
integrated with the DSP56300 core; it is designed to perform convolutional coding and
channel equalization algorithms. It operates independently of the core, requiring
minimum CPU-time overhead. Although its original design purpose is to support base
stations for the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) standard, it can
support several standard convolutional coding algorithms, based on common 1/n rates
or their puncture derivatives, as used by GSM, PCN, and NADC.
The VCOP is designed for a wide range of standard applications requiring the Viterbi
algorithm for convolutional coding or channel equalization (in particular maximum
likelihood decoding) used for the following applications:
• Maximum Likelihood Sequential Estimation (MLSE) equalizer
• Channel decoder
• Convolutional encoder
In recent years, the Viterbi algorithm has been widely used in several
telecommunications areas, such as modems, cellular phone systems, and satellite
communications.

VCOP Support for GSM
The channel coding scheme specified by GSM is described in the following block
diagram:
The blocks using the VCOP (framed in bold, above) are convolutional encoding,
convolutional decoding, and channel equalization. The next section gives an example of
using the Viterbi algorithm for channel equalization.
