Unit memory convolutional codes with maximum distance

From MaRDI portal





Unit memory codes and, in particular, partial unit memory codes are reviewed. Conditions for the optimality of partial unit memory codes with degree \(k-1\) are given, where optimal codes are the codes having the maximum free distance among all codes of the same rate \(R=k/n\) and degree \(\mu\). A binary construction of unit memory codes with \(\mu=k-1\) is discussed for the cases that satisfy the optimality conditions. This construction is generalized for codes over fields of characteristic \(p>2\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0960.00082].
