A distance approach to window decoding

Handlery, Marc LU ; Johannesson, Rolf LU and Zyablov, Viktor V. (2002) In Problems of Information Transmission 38(3). p.169-181
Abstract
In convolutional coding, code sequences have infinite length; thus, a maximum-likelihood decoder implies an infinite delay. Due to memory and delay constraints in practical coding schemes, convolutional codes often are either terminated or decoded by a window decoder. When a window decoder is used, the convolutional code sequence is not terminated; instead, the window decoder estimates information digits after receiving a finite number of noise-corrupted code symbols, thereby keeping the decoding delay short. An exact characterization of the error-correcting capability of window decoded convolutional codes is given by using active distances of convolutional codes.
