摘      要：On February 16, 2016, the 21st Draper Prize for Engineering was awarded by the US National Academy of Engineering to Dr. Andrew J. Viterbi, of the Viterbi Group, for the creation of the Viterbi Algorithm that is used by the great majority of mobile phones today. This algorithm helped make cell phones practical by focusing on the most likely computing paths in mobile and satellite communications, thereby facilitating the suppression of static in transmissions. This award represents the second rec- ognition of the enormous impact of mobile communications, following the 2013 award to Martin Cooper, Joel S. Engel, Richard H. Frenkiel, Thomas Haug, and Yoshihisa Okumura for their con- tributions to the world＇s first cellular telephone networks. The Draper Prize is one of the world＇s premier prizes for engineering and technology and celebrates innovations that improve the hu- man condition [1 ].
