Distance Properties of Convolutional Codes and Encoders
Chapter
Abstract
Definitions and representations of convolutional codes and encoders were discussed in Chapter 2. Our objective in this chapter is to study their distance structure. The distance properties of a code or an encoder determine its error-correcting and detecting capabilities and are useful in analyzing the performance of various decoding techniques. Many of the distance parameters discussed in this chapter are also useful in selecting good encoders.
