چکیده

We consider the problem of finding a trellis for a finear block code that minimizes one or more measures of trellis complexity. The domain of optimization may be different permutations of the same code or different codes with the same parameters. Constraints on trellises, including relationships between the minimal trellis of a code and that of the dual code, are used to derive bounds on complexity. We define a partial ordering on trellises: If a trellis is optimum with respect to this partial ordering, it has the desirable property that it simultaneously minimizes all of the complexity measures examined. We examine properties of such optimal trellises and give examples of optimal permutations of codes, most notably the (48,24,12) quadratic residue code.

Tail-Biting Trellises of Block Codes: Trellis Complexity and Viterbi Decoding Complexity

Tail-biting trellises of linear and nonlinear block codes are addressed. We refine the information-theoretic approach of a previous work on conventional trellis representation, and show that the same ideas carry over to tail-biting trellises. We present lower bounds on the state and branch complexity profiles of these representations. These bounds are expressed in terms of mutual information be...

Exponential Error Bounds for Block Concatenated Codes with Tail Biting Trellis Inner Codes

Tail biting trellis codes and block concatenated codes are discussed from random coding arguments. An error exponent and decoding complexity for tail biting random trellis codes are shown. Then we propose a block concatenated code constructed by a tail biting trellis inner code and derive an error exponent and decoding complexity for the proposed code. The results obtained by the proposed code ...

Trellis decoding complexity of linear block codes

AbstructIn this partially tutorial paper, we examine minimal trellis representations of linear block codes and analyze several measures of trellis complexity: maximum state and edge dimensions, total span length, and total vertices, edges and mergers. We obtain bounds on these complexities as extensions of well-known dimensiodlength profile (DLP) bounds. Codes meeting these bounds minimize all ...

On complexity of trellis structure of linear block codes

This paper is concerned with the trellis structure of linear block codes. The paper consists of four parts. In the first part, we investigate the state and branch complexities of a trellis diagram for a linear block code. A trellis diagram with the minimum number of states is said to be minimal. First, we express the branch complexity of a minimal trellis diagram for a linear block code in term...

Decoding Algorithms and Error Probability Bounds for Convolutional Codes

Error control codes are a way of combatting uncertainty in the transmission of information from one point to another. Information theory shows the existence of codes that allow for arbitrarily reliable communication when the rate of transmission is less than the channel capacity. However, it doesn’t provide schemes that are practical to achieve this. Error control coding strives to find codes t...
