Method for editing a high-rate convolutional code for transmission and its reconversion at the receiver

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method and apparatus for editing a high-convolutional code for transmission and its reconversion at a receiver using coda puncturing n-output bit streams of a convolutional encoder. The device includes parallel switched data rearrangers at the transmitter provided with control switching circuits which evenly distribute bit streams to the transmission channels. At the receiver a de-puncturer, processes all transmission channels in parallel downstream, of which dummy bits are inserted by a multiplexer and a convolutional decoder subsequently decodes the received data.
