New rate-compatible repetition convolutional codes
A. Svensson, Zihuai Lin · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 2000
The optimum rate-compatible repetition convolutional (RCRC) codes with different parent encoder rates and different constraint lengths are presented. They are constructed according to the optimum distance spectrum (ODS) criterion. The obtained codes provide, e.g., significant throughput gains compared to simple repetition codes, when applied in hybrid type II automatic repeat request (ARQ) schemes.
