Best short rate 1

We give a method of finding convolutional codes with minimum bit-error rate (BER) that combines ideas of importance sampling, Monte Carlo integration, and maximum a posteriori probability decoding. The method is applied to rate 1/2 tailbiting convolutional coding, both feedforward and feedback syste...
