High-Rate Punctured Convolutional Codes for Soft Decision Viterbi Decoding
Y. Yasuda, Kanshiro Kashiki, Yasuo Hirata · IRE Transactions on Communications Systems · 1984
The high-rate punctured codes of rates 2/3 through 13/14 are derived from rate 1/2 specific convolutional codes with maximal free distance. Coding gains of derived codes are compared based on their bit error rate performances under soft decision Viterbi decoding.
