Sequential decoding

Sequential decoding is a technique used in communication systems and information theory for decoding sequences of data encoded for transmission. This method is particularly relevant in the context of error-correcting codes and various coding schemes, such as convolutional codes. ### Key Features of Sequential Decoding: 1. **Step-by-Step Decoding**: Sequential decoding operates on a sequence of received symbols, using previously decoded symbols to inform the decoding of subsequent ones.
