=== AP Decoding
|
||||
|
||||
With the QRA64 decoder Nico Palermo, IV3NWV, introduced a technique
|
||||
for decoding with the aid of information that naturally accumulates
|
||||
during a minimal QSO. This _a priori_ (AP) information can be
|
||||
used to increase the sensitivity of the decoder.
|
||||
Our decoders for QRA64 and FT8 include optional procedures to use
|
||||
information that naturally accumulates during a minimal QSO. This _a
|
||||
priori_ (AP) information can increase the sensitivity of the decoder.
|
||||
|
||||
When an operator decides to answer a CQ, he already knows his own
|
||||
callsign and that of his potential QSO partner. He therefore knows
|
||||
what to expect for at least 56 of the 72 message bits in a
|
||||
standard-format response to his call. The _WSJT-X_ decoders for QRA64
|
||||
and FT8 can use these and similar AP bits to decode messages
|
||||
containing them with higher sensitivity than otherwise possible.
|
||||
|
||||
We have implemented AP decoding in slightly different ways in QRA64
|
||||
and FT8. To provide some explicit examples for users, we provide here
|
||||
a brief description of the FT8 behavior.
|
||||
For example, when an operator decides to answer a CQ, he already knows
|
||||
his own callsign and that of his potential QSO partner. He therefore
|
||||
knows what to expect for at least 57 of the 72 message bits in a
|
||||
standard-format response to his call. The task of the decoder can
|
||||
therefore be reduced to determining the remaining 15 bits of the
|
||||
message and ensuring that the resulting decode is reliable. We have
|
||||
implemented AP decoding in slightly different ways in QRA64 and FT8.
|
||||
To provide some explicit examples for users, we provide here a brief
|
||||
description of the FT8 behavior.

||||

||||
AP decoding attempts effectively set the AP bits to the hypothesized
|
||||
values, as if they had been received correctly. The decoder then
