Roxana Smarandache, Heide Gluesing-Luerssen, Joachim Rosenthal · 2003
A new class of rate 1/2 convolutional codes called strongly MDS convolutional codes are introduced and studied. These are codes having optimal column distances. Properties of these codes are given and a concrete construction is provided.
