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 ...
Input for the encoder consists of input frames each of 24 8-bit symbols (12 16-bit samples from the A/D converter, 6 each from left and right data (sound) sources). A frame can be represented by L 1 R 1 L 2 R 2 …
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.
The squared norm distance between the received and the actual symbols in the code alphabet may be further simplified into a linear sum/difference form, which makes it less computationally intensive. Consider a 1/2 convolutional code, which generates 2 bits (00, 01, 10 or 11) for every input bit (1 or 0).
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".
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.
