Abstract :
This work focuses on convolutional codes defined over Z2m whose underlying generators are binary-based convolutional codes of known performance levels. The algebraic structures describing such codes are finitely generated free modules, and it is shown that the distance structure of these codes are determined by the generating binary codes, in the spirit of previous work on cyclic block codes.
