Title
Combined puncturing and path pruning for convolutional codes and the application to unequal error protection
Abstract
In this paper, puncturing and path pruning are combined for convolutional codes to construct a new coding scheme for unequal error protection (UEP), called the hybrid punctured and path-pruned convolutional codes. From an algebraic viewpoint, we show that the hybrid codes not only inherit all the advantages of the conventional rate-compatible punctured convolutional codes and path-compatible pruned convolutional codes but also can provide more flexible choices of protection capability for UEP. In addition, a data-multiplexing scheme originally proposed for path-pruned codes which can guarantee smooth transition between rates without additional zero-padding for frame termination is proven applicable to the hybrid codes to improve the system throughput.
