A decoding algorithm for 2D convolutional codes over the erasure channel

Two-dimensional (2D) convolutional codes are a generalization of (1D) convolutional codes, which are suitable for transmission over an erasure channel. In this paper, we present a decoding algorithm for 2D convolutional codes over such a channel by reducing the decoding process to several decoding s...

Description
Summary:Two-dimensional (2D) convolutional codes are a generalization of (1D) convolutional codes, which are suitable for transmission over an erasure channel. In this paper, we present a decoding algorithm for 2D convolutional codes over such a channel by reducing the decoding process to several decoding steps applied to 1D convolutional codes. Moreover, we provide constructions of 2D convolutional codes that are specially tailored to our decoding algorithm.
