  • Abstract
    A tabulation of binary systematic convolutional codes with an optimum distance profile for rates 1/3 and 1/4 is given. A number of short rate 1/3 binary nonsystematic convolutional codes are listed. These latter codes are simultaneously optimal for the following distance measures: distance profile, minimum distance, and free distance; they appear attractive for use with Viterbi decoders. Comparisons with previously known codes are made.
