  • Abstract
    This paper gives a tabulation of binary convolutional codes with maximum free distance for rates frac{1}{2}, frac{1}{3} , and frac{1}{4} for all constraint lengths (measured in information digits) \\nu up to and including \\nu = 14 . These codes should be of practical interest in connection with Viterbi decoders.
