The stored bits correspond to the last branches of the most likely data sequence estimations called survivor paths. It has been shown that when the survivor paths are traced backwards, they rapidly converge to a unique path which represents the most likely estimation of the message. The length L of the diverging part of the paths, called the truncation length, is programmable : it should be set to 32 for the 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 rate codes, and to 64 for the 3/4 rate code. 1, record 1, English, - truncation%20length
