Abstract: A highly parallel maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding algorithm is proposed for high code rate, R = (n-1)/ n , ordinary (nonpunctured) convolutional codes using trellises of reciprocal dual ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present explicit code constructions for a family of (n,k,δ) convolutional codes with optimum distance profiles. The family of convolutional codes is obtained from sets of ...
