Bluetooth Coded PHY decoding algorithm (nRF52840)

[Casper24]

Convolutional codes are used to provide forward error correction (FEC) in Bluetooth Coded PHY.
From literature I find that the Viterbi algorithm is often (but not always) used. However, from the nRF52840 documentation I cannot find a mention of the FEC decoding algorithm implemented in hardware. Is this information available?

Hi Casper

Sorry about the misunderstanding, I was way too quick on the trigger there. I had another look at both the Bluetooth spec. and our PS. And according to Core_v5.3, Vol 6, Part B, Section 2.2 FEC is all done in HW. I have edited my last reply to reflect this.

Best regards,

Simon
