Convolutional codes with optimum distance spectrum

New convolutional codes with rates 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 are presented for constraint lengths ranging from 3 to 15. These new codes are maximum free-distance codes. Furthermore, the codes have optimized information error weights, resulting in a low bit-error rate for binary communication on both additiv...

Zusammenfassung:New convolutional codes with rates 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 are presented for constraint lengths ranging from 3 to 15. These new codes are maximum free-distance codes. Furthermore, the codes have optimized information error weights, resulting in a low bit-error rate for binary communication on both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading channels. Improved coding gains of as much as 0.6 dB compared to previously published codes have been observed for coherent BPSK over a Rayleigh fading channel and a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios.
