High‐Rate Punctured Convolutional Codes
David Haccoun · 2003
Abstract This chapter presents high‐rate punctured convolutional codes. Perforation matrices, weight spectra and upper bounds on the bit error probability of the best known punctured codes having memory 2 ≤ M ≤ 8, and coding rates 2/3 ≤ R ≤ 7/8 are provided. Rate‐2/3 and 3/4 long‐memory punctured convolutional codes with 9 ≤ M ≤ 23 are provided together with the leading terms of their weight spectra and their bit error performance bounds.
