Method and system for optimizing coding gain

A decoding system comprising:

• a transmission channel;
• a decoder coupled with the transmission channel, the decoder comprising a variable length backsearch buffer;
• a bit error rate monitor coupled with the decoder, the bit error rate monitor operative to generate a control signal;
• and
• means for automatically adjusting the variable length backsearch buffer in response to the control signal.

A decoding system comprising:

• a transmission channel;
• a decoder coupled with the transmission channel, the decoder comprising a variable length input buffer;
• a bit error rate monitor coupled with the decoder, the bit error rate monitor operative to generate a control signal;
• and
• a controller coupled with the bit error rate monitor, the controller being operative to receive the control signal and generate an adjustment signal for controlling the adjustment of the variable length input buffer.
