A Generalized Precompiling scheme for Surviving Path Memory Management in Viterbi decoders

The management of the surviving path memory in Viterbi's algorithm is generally performed by Trace-Back or Exchange.Register. A generalized method using precompiled trace-backs is presented. Resolution by a graphical method is proposed and three examples are solved.
