Abstract— In this paper, simulation of Viterbi decoder and Fano decoder for decoding the convolutional codes in AWGN channel is carried out
Graphs are plotted between Viterbi algorithm and Fano algorithm for decoding the convolutional codes of fixed coderate and fixed constraint length
Result shows that performance of Viterbi decoder is better than Fano d
