Frame error rate of the NASA concatenated coding system
Laif Swanson, K. M. Cheung · NASA Technical Reports Server (NASA) · 1991
For a concatenated coding system, the effect of interleaving depth on interleaved frame-error rate is compiled by simulation. Comparisons are made for three different inner convolutional codes; all three systems have a (255,223) 8-bit Reed-Solomon code as an outer code. For all the inner convolutional codes tested, an interleaving depth smaller that 4 causes substantial loss.
