Advantages and Disadvantages of Cyclic Codes j As we have seen that eyclic codes are the subclass of linear block codes, they have gq advantages over noncyclic block codes as given under: ; Advantages : 7 1, The error correcting and decoding methods of cyclic codes are simpler and easy toimple These methods eliminate the storage needed for lookup table decoding. Therefore the ~ becomes powerful and efficient. 2. The encoders and decoders for cyclic codes are simpler compared to noneyclie codes, q 3. Cyclic codes also detect error burst that span many successive bits. Inspite of these advantages cyclic codes also have some advantages, Disadvantages 1. The error detection in cyclic codes is simpler but error correction is little complicated si the combinational logic circuits in error detector are complex. To abiod such complex circuits some special cyclic codes are used which are discus next, Fe 6.15. BCH Codes (Bose - Chaudhri - Hocquenghem Codes) BCH codes are most extensive and powerful error correcting cyclic codes. The decoding of BI codes is comparatively simpler. For any positive integer m and t (where t < 2™-1) there exists BCH code with following parameters: i : Block length: n = 2-1 Number of parity check bits: n —k < mt Minimum distance: d,,,, > 2t+1 { min ‘ine decoding schemes of BCH codes can be implemented on digital computer. Because of software implementation of decoding . } schemes they are quite flexible compared to hardware implementation of other schemes, “16.16.

MS Decoding Methods of Convolutional Codes ecoittt methods are used for decoding of convolutional codes. ‘They are viterbi algorithm, sequential i and feedback decoding. Let's consider them in details in subsequent sections. Ib, 7 ee Viterbi Algorithm for Decoding of Convolutional Codes uty present the received signal by Y. Convolutional encoding operates continuously on proba sie there are non-code vectors and blocks as such, Let’s assume that the transmission Metrig ity of symbol&\1’s and 0's is same.

One path is a, a, ay a, with metric 5. The other ae a a 42 95 with metric 2. In the same way, there are two ‘paths at other nodes also. ing iter decoding, only one path with lower metric should be retained at particular Mp As shown ‘in figure 16.19, the paths marked with x (cross) are cancelled since they have fpermeties than other path coming to that particular node. These four: paths with lower metrics sesored in the decoder and the decoding continues to next received bits. shows the continuation of figure 16.19 for a message 12 bits.

TI vest metric, it is the surviving path an ‘ies of output are taken from the outputs tig bit m= 1 and if it is continuous, message bit m = 0 between two nodes. Scanned with CamScanner This is the complete explanation of viterbi decoding. The meth ‘i decoding is known as maximum likelihood decoding. method of decoding use in Vite During decoding you would find that a viterbi decoder has to st four nodes. Store four survivity pathy Surviving paths = 2%- 0 “ (6g For a particular encoder, we have K= 3 and k =1 Thus, Surviving paths = 26-)*!=4 Hence, the viterbi decoder has to store four surviving paths always. If the numbe 3 bits to be decoded are very large, then storage requirement is also large since the deo S80 store multiple (in present example four) paths. To remove this problem metric diversion gt et used. Metric Diversion Effect For the two surviving paths originating from the same node, the running metric of less likey, path tends to inerease more rapidly than the metric divergence effect. For example consi likely fwo paths coming from node b, in figure 16.21. One path comes at as and other path comes at The path at ay is lose Kikely ahd hence its metric is more compared to the path at dy, Hesee only the surviver path is selected and the message bits are decoded. The fresh paths ar node d; started from d,. Due to this, the memory storage is reduced since complete path need not He stored. 16.16.2.2, Sequential Decoding for Convolutional Codes ; (UP. Tech., Sem. Examination, 2003-2004) Sequential decoding uses metric divergence effect figure 16.21(a) shows the code trellis for the convolutional encoder.

The two dotted lines shows the range of threshold ‘A’ above jno. at a particular node. It may be observed that since metri¢ ofpath ‘B’ exceeds the threshold at 5'* node, it is abandoned and decoder starts from node ‘Z again. In the same way path ‘A’ is also abandoned. () Ifthe running metric of every path goes out of threshold limits then the value of threshold ‘s'is increased and decoder tries back again. In figure 16.22(b) the value of a = 1/16, for encoder of figure 16.13, we know that n = 2. Lets calculate jn a at 8" node. At node jna. = 8 x 2 x 1/16 = 1. ‘The value of A = 2. Hence, threshold will be, Threshold = jno. + A = 1 + 2 = 3 at 8" node. Similarly the threshold at other nodes can be alulated. The computations involved in sequential decoding are less than viterbi decoding. However, ‘ieback tracking in sequential decoding is complex. The output error probability is more in ease
