Convolutional Codes Under Linear Systems Point of View. Analysis of Output-Controllability
Authors: , ,
Abstract: In this work we make a detailed look at the algebraic structure of convolutional codes using techniques of linear systems theory. In particular we study the input-state-output representation of a convolutional code. We examine the output-controllability property and we give conditions for this property. At the end of the paper is presented a brief introduction to the analysis of output controllability for parallel concatenated codes.
