An Algebraic Decoding Algorithm for Convolutional Codes
Joachim Rosenthal · Birkhäuser Basel eBooks · 1999
The class of convolutional codes generalizes the class of linear block codes in a natural way. The construction of convolutional codes which have a large free distance and which come with an efficient decoding algorithm is a major task. Contrary to the situation of linear block codes there exists only very few algebraic construction of convolutional codes.
