Abstract
A discussion of convolutional encoding and sequential decoding is given as background for the experimental phase of this research. A modified stack algorithm is programmed to simulate a sequential decoder for use in the study of time-varying convolutional codes. The decoder simulator is used to analyze the structure of codes with the aim of finding a systematic method by which to construct time-varying convolutional codes with good decoding properties. Some difficulties in construction techniques are discussed. Extensive computer simulation comparing decoding performance of time-varying codes to that of fixed codes Is reported. The conclusion of these comparisons is that the time-varying codes studied thus far are of theoretical interest only.

    Application of the computer for real time encoding and decoding of cyclic block codes 

    Cetinilmaz, Nizamettin (1975-12);
    This thesis is concerned with cyclic block codes which can "be used for the detection and correction of errors in a transmitted message which are produced "by various types of noise. Computer programs were developed and ...

    Hybrid hard and soft decision decoding of Reed-Solomon codes for M-ARY frequency-shift keying 

    Spyridis, Konstantinos (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2010-06);
    All modern communication systems use some form of forward error correction coding. Generally, coding gain is improved when soft decision decoding is used instead of hard decision decoding. While soft decision decoding is ...
