The code rate of a convolutional code is commonly modified via symbol puncturing. For example, a convolutional code with a 'mother' code rate / = / may be punctured to a higher rate of, for example, / simply by not transmitting a portion of code symbols. The performance of a punctured convolutional code generally scales well with the amount of ...
Fig 1 is an example of a SCCC. Fig. 1. SCCC Encoder. The example encoder is composed of a 16-state outer convolutional code and a 2-state inner convolutional code linked by an interleaver. The natural code rate of the configuration shown is 1/4, however, the inner and/or outer codes may be punctured to achieve higher code rates as needed.
Turbo codes, as described first in 1993, implemented a parallel concatenation of two convolutional codes, with an interleaver between the two codes and an iterative decoder that passes information forth and back between the codes. [6] This design has a better performance than any previously conceived concatenated codes.
A convolutional code that is terminated is also a 'block code' in that it encodes a block of input data, but the block size of a convolutional code is generally arbitrary, while block codes have a fixed size dictated by their algebraic characteristics. Types of termination for convolutional codes include "tail-biting" and "bit-flushing".
Under this definition codes such as turbo codes, terminated convolutional codes and other iteratively decodable codes (turbo-like codes) would also be considered block codes. A non-terminated convolutional encoder would be an example of a non-block (unframed) code, which has memory and is instead classified as a tree code.
Linear block codes; Convolutional codes; It analyzes the following three properties of a code – mainly: [citation needed] Code word length; Total number of valid code words; The minimum distance between two valid code words, using mainly the Hamming distance, sometimes also other distances like the Lee distance
First we observe that a code can detect all bursts of length if and only if no two codewords differ by a burst of length . Suppose that we have two code words c 1 {\displaystyle \mathbf {c} _{1}} and c 2 {\displaystyle \mathbf {c} _{2}} that differ by a burst b {\displaystyle \mathbf {b} } of length ⩽ ℓ {\displaystyle \leqslant \ell } .
The table below lists the nominal spectral efficiency, nominal coding gain and effective coding gain at () for Reed–Muller codes of length : Code ρ {\displaystyle \rho }
