Convolutional codes of Goppa type

Se definen nuevos códigos convolucionales (MDS) generalizando los códigos Goppa.A new kind of Convolutional Codes generalizing Goppa Codes isproposed. This provides a systematic method for constructing convolutionalcodes with prefixed properties. In particular, examples of Maximum-DistanceSeparable (MDS) convolutional codes are obtained

Decoding of MDP Convolutional Codes over the Erasure Channel

This paper studies the decoding capabilities of maximum distance profile (MDP) convolutional codes over the erasure channel and compares them with the decoding capabilities of MDS block codes over the same channel. The erasure channel involving large alphabets is an important practical channel model when studying packet transmissions over a network, e.g, the Internet
