Abstract

This report describes a program which was written to simulate Real-Time Minimal-Byte-Error Probability (RIMBEP) decoding of full unit-memory (FUM) convolutional codes on a 3-bit quantized AWGN channel. This program was used to compute the symbolL-error probability of FUM codes and to determine the signal-to-noise (SNR) required to achieve a bit error rate (BER) of 1 0° for corresponding concatenated systems. A (6, 6/30) FUM code, 6-bit Reed-Solomon code combination was found to achieve the required BER at a SNR of 1.886 dB. The RTMBEP algorithm was then modified: for decoding partial unit-memory (PUM) convolutional codes. A simulation program was also written to simulate the symbol-error probability of these codes.
