Re: LF: New version of EbNaut decoder

[Roger Lapthorn <rogerlapthorn@gmail.com>]

Hi Paul,

It might be a good idea to give an "idiot's guide" here to EbNaut on VLF to those here who want to give it a try. 

 

I suspect it is beyond my brain these days (somewhat scrambled since my stroke in 2013 - things that once were easy I now find quite hard), but some might appreciate it.

By the way, to everyone who has been at the frontiers recently, many congratulations.  There has been some seriously impressive work in recent times.

Updated EbNaut decoder for Windows, now at version 0.8

This version does 16K23A which is a useful polynomial
for short messages combined with a large CRC.

The Linux program is up to version 0.9 now.

The only significant change is the use of DSW re-balancing
of the list decoder stack.  This may reduce decode time
a little when using very large list lengths.  It is most
useful when measuring the distance spectrum of a polynomial
where a degenerate tree often develops.
