Algebraic Structure of Convolutional Codes with Application to Code Construction and Decoding

摘要

During this quarter, the error trellis syndrome decoding techniques for convolutional codes was developed. This algorithm is specialized then to the entire class of systematic convolutional codes. Finally, this algorithm is applied to the high rate Wyner-Ash convolutional codes. A special example of the one-error-correcting Wyner-Ash code, a 3/4 rate code is treated in this report. (Author)
