A more rigorous merging condition requires the FD and the BD to have more than one merged state (e.g., 5 merged states) as shown in the shaded box on the right.
We propose as a future work the improvement of merging condition without parameters.
The merging condition consists of a similarity measure between two blocks and defined as (6).
A simple merging condition requires the FD and the BD have one merged state as shown in the shaded box on the left.
In this article, the simple merging condition (NMS = 1) is adopted by the BFA. Figure 1 Illustration of the bidirectional Fano algorithm decoding, where L is the information length and K is the constraint length of the convolutional code, resulting in a total codeword length of L f = L + K - 1.
Then several consecutive sequential OPCs will form a new OPC with operation ⊗ if they meet merging condition.
Unlike CPA, CDSWS only ranks candidate nodes or clusters that satisfy merging conditions, and the number of candidate nodes or clusters does not exceed m.
Due to the fact that the algorithm is based on GAs, we use a hierarchical structure to merge the conditions of Hurwitz testing matrix technique and average performance constraint into a fitness function which is called Hierarchical Fitness Function Structure (HFFS).
The Federal Communications Commission allowed the two companies to merge on the condition that AT&T offer broadband Internet to every customer in its territory by the end of 2007.
The solution of this problem can be derived by merging both conditions and related matrix operations, and results in the following vector of CCs, namely: s c = - P CC μ I + P CC 0 s d = W s d, (12).
