In this paper, we suggest a new technique for WPC parity-check matrix (H-matrix) generation and a corresponding decoding process. The key idea is to construct WPC H-matrix by using a convolutional encoder. It is easy to have many different coderates from a mother code with convolutional codes. However, it is difficult to have many different coderates with LDPC codes. Constructing LDPC Hmatrix based on a convolutional code can easily bring the advantage of convolutional codes to have different coderates. Moreover, both LDPC and convolutional decoding algorithms can be applied altogether in the decoding part. This process prevents the performance degradation of short-length WPC code.

Error control performance of punctured convolutional codes is considered in digital mobile radio communication wherein GMSK and DQPSK are assumed to be employed as a modulation scheme. Bit error rates of the two modulation systems with the punctured convolutional code are computed, and compared each other, some good punctured convolutional codes are searched and listed fork practical application to the digital mobile radio communication.

The next generation mobile communication systems require error correcting schemes that can be adaptable to various code rates and lengths with negligible performance degradation. Serial concatenated convolutional codes can be a good candidate satisfying these requirements. In this paper, we propose new rate-compatible punctured serial concatenated convolutional code (RCPSCCC) which performs better than the RCPSCCC proposed by Chandran and Valenti in the sense of the rate compatibility. These codes are evaluated and analyzed by using computer simulation and SNR evolution technique. As their application, Type-II hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes using both RCPSCCCs are constructed and new RCPSCCC is shown to have better throughput.

In this paper, we present a new cぉnet coding method, so called MLC (Multi-Level Codes), for error detection and correction in digital wireless communication. MLC coding method we the same coding procedure wed in the convolutional coding but it is distinguished from the existing convolutional coding in point of generating the code word by using multi-level information data (M-ary signal) and in point of speed of coding procedure Through computer simulation, we analyze the performance of the coding method suggested here compared to convolutional coding method in case of modulo-operation and in case of non-binary coding Procedure respectively under various channel environments.

In regions of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), performance analysis uses simulations of hybrid concatenated coding systems. However, for higher SNR regions beyond simulation capabilities, average upper bounds to bit error rate (BER) and word error rate (WER) are used. In [1], all weight enumerating functions are needed to obtain average bounds. In this paper, we use RSC as constituent codes, by using effective free distances instead of WEF, we derive average BER and WER bounds of hybrid concatenated convolutional codes (HCCC) and analyze the BER and WER over AWGN and Rayleigh/Rician fading channels.

The union upper bounds to the bit error probability of maximum likelihood(ML) soft-decoding of parallel concatenated convolutional codes(PCCC) and serially concatenated convolutional codes(SCCC) can be evaluated through the weight enumerating function(WEF). This union upper bounds become the lower bounds of the BER achievable when iterative decoding is used. In this paper, to compute the WEF, an efficient error event search algorithm which is a combination of stack algorithm and bidirectional search algorithm is proposed. By computor simulation, it is shown that the union boounds obtained by using the proposed algorithm become the lower bounds to BER of concatenated convolutional codes with iterative decoding.

The use of an error-correcting code is essential in communication systems where the channel is noisy. Unless a receiver has accurate channel coding parameters, it becomes difficult to decode the digitized encoding bits correctly. In this paper, we propose two algorithms for reconstructing convolutional codes: one for general convolutional codes and the other for punctured convolutional codes. And we also verify the algorithms by performing intensive computer simulation in additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.

The aim of this study is to rectify the misclassified image features and enhance the performance of image classification tasks by incorporating a channel- coding technique, widely used in telecommunication. Specifically, the proposed algorithm employs the error - correcting mechanism of convolutional coding combined with the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that are the state - of- the- arts image classifier s. We develop an encoder and a decoder to employ the error - correcting capability of the convolutional coding. In the encoder, the label values of the image data are converted to convolutional codes that are used as target outputs of the CNN, and the network is trained to minimize the Euclidean distance between the target output codes and the actual output codes. In order to correct misclassified features, the outputs of the network are decoded through the trellis structure with Viterbi algorithm before determining the final prediction. This paper demonstrates that the proposed architecture advances the performance of the neural networks compared to the traditional one- hot encoding method.

Storage devices such as memories are widely used in various electronic products. They require high-density memory and currently the data has been stored in multi-level format, that results in high error rate. In this paper, we apply error correction schemes that are widely used in communication system to the storage devices for satisfying low bit error rate and high code rate. In A WGN channel with average BER $10^{-5}$ and $5{\times}10^{-6}$, we study error correction schemes for 4-1evel cell to achieve target code rate 0.99 and target BER $10^{-11}$ and $10^{-13}$, respectively. Since block codes may perform better than the concatenated codes for high code rate, and it is important to use less degraded inner code even when many bits are punctured. The performance of concatenated codes using general feedforward systematic convolutional codes are worse than the block code only scheme. The simulation results show that RSC codes must be used as inner codes to achieve good performance of punctured convolutional codes for high code rate.

We propose a new serial concatenation scheme for space-time and recursive convolutional codes, in which a space-time code is used as the outer code and a single recursive convolutional code as the inner code. We discuss previously proposed serial concatenation schemes employing multiple inner codes and compare them with the new one. The proposed method and the previous one with joint decoding, both performing a combined decoding of the simultaneous output signals from multiple antennas, give a large performance gain over the separate decoding method. In decoding complexity, the new concatenation scheme has a lower complexity compared with the multiple encoding/joint decoding scheme due to the use of the single inner code. Simulation results for a communication system with two transmit and one receive antennas in a quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel show that the proposed scheme outperforms the previous schemes.
