Performance of convolutional coded dual header pulse interval modulation in infrared links

The paper presents analysis and simulation for the convolutional coded DH-PIM using 1⁄2 convolutional code with the constraint length of 3. Decoding is implemented using the Viterbi algorithm. The proposed scheme is simulated for a constraint length of 7 and the results are compared with a number of different modulation techniques. DH-PIM with convolutional coding requires about 4-5 dB lower SNR for a given slot error rate compared with the un-coded DH-PIM.
