Bounds on the probability of error for convolutional codes (Corresp.) |
| |
Abstract: | For the single error correcting convolutional codes introduced by Wyner and Ash, it is shown that if sufficiently few errors occur in an appropriate neighborhood of a block, the probability of correctly decoding that block is independent of errors outside that neighborhood. This fact is used to derive bounds on the bit error probability and the mean time to first error. |
