Abstract :
The Golay convolutional code and related block codes are investigated from an application point of view. We calculate the distance spectrum of the Golay convolutional code and the weight distributions of the block codes using the transfer-matrix method. The performance of the considered codes is shown and discussed. Moreover, the codes are applied as component codes of parallel concatenated codes which are iteratively decoded
