Design of source-matched blockwise decoded convolutional codes for mobile communications

In this paper blockwise decoded convolutional encoding is used and evaluated for the design of an error protection coding scheme matched with the characteristics of a variable-rate speech coder's output bit-stream. The performance is evaluated for a symmetrical, interference limited, cellular system. Both microcellular and macrocellular propagation models are used. Different reuse factors are taken into consideration.
