On isometries for convolutional codes

نویسنده

چکیده

In this paper we will discuss isometries and strong isometries for convolutional codes. Isometries are weight-preserving module isomorphisms whereas strong isometries are, in addition, degree-preserving. Special cases of these maps are certain types of monomial transformations. We will show a form of MacWilliams Equivalence Theorem, that is, each isometry between convolutional codes is given by a monomial transformation. Examples show that strong isometries cannot be characterized this way, but special attention paid to the weight adjacency matrices allows for further descriptions. Various distance parameters appearing in the literature on convolutional codes will be discussed as well.

تجزیه و تحلیل عملکرد کدهای کانولوشنال تعریف شده در میدان حقیقی در کانال فیدینگ و در حضور نویز کوانتیزاسیون

Channel coding is one of the techniques used for suppression of fading and channel noise effects. Most of the researches on channel codes have been focused on the codes which are defined on Galois fields. Since two decades ago, using channel codes defined on Real and Complex fields has been considered for joint sourcechannel coding in multimedia transmission; but most of the works have focused ...

BLIND PARAMETER ESTIMATION OF A RATE k/n CONVOLUTIONAL CODE IN NOISELESS CASE

This paper concerns to blind identification of a convolutional code with desired rate in a noiseless transmission scenario. To the best of our knowledge, blind estimation of convolutional code based on only the received bitstream doesn’t lead to a unique solution. Hence, without loss of generality, we will assume that the transmitter employs a non-catastrophic encoder. Moreover, we consider a c...

MacWilliams Extension Theorem for MDS codes over a vector space alphabet

The MacWilliams Extension Theorem states that each linear isometry of a linear code extends to a monomial map. Unlike the linear codes, in general, additive codes do not have the extension property. In this paper, an analogue of the extension theorem for additive codes in the case of additive MDS codes is proved. More precisely, it is shown that for almost all additive MDS codes their additive ...

Isometries of Additive Codes

(June 15, 2016.) FIX: June 15, 2016. This needs to be re-written. Monomial transformations of linear codes are linear isometries for the Hamming weight. A code alphabet has the extension property for the Hamming weight when every linear isometry between codes extends to a monomial transformation. MacWilliams proved that finite fields have the extension property for the Hamming weight. In contra...
