Convolutional codes under linear systems point of view. Analysis of output-controllability
María Isabel García Planas, El Mamoun Souidi, Laurence Emilie Um · 2012
In this work we make a detailed look at the algebraic structure of convolutional codes using techniques of linear systems theory. In particular we study the input-state-output representation of a convolutional code. We examine the output-controllability property and we give conditions for this property. At the end of the paper is presented a brief introduction to the analysis of output controllability for parallel concatenated codes.
