  • Abstract
    A Gilbert bound for periodic binary convolutional (PBC) codes is established. This bound shows that regardless of previous decoding decisions any fraction of errors less than \\alpha /2 can be corrected in a constraint length by some PBC code if the constraint length is sufficiently large and R , the code rate, is less than [1 - H(\\alpha )]/2, 0 \\leq \\alpha < frac{1}{2} .
