What?

o Channel Coding:
1. Linear Block Codes
2. Convolutional Codes

o Code Rate:
CR=m/n where,
m total no. of message bits
n total no. of bits after encoding

o Puncturing is the process of removing some of the parity
bits after encoding.

o Puncturing carried about with a matrix of ones
and zeroes.

o Information sequence is infinite and needs to
be made finite.

o Increase in bitrate.

Dependency on length constraint
oConstraint length an indication of the internal
memory.

oL=k(m-1), where k=number of input bits and
m=number of memory registers.

oIf constraint length increases, the sequence
becomes more costly to decode.
