Abstract :
It is shown that in a digital communication system that uses an 
linear code, the symbol error rate, measured on the information symbols, is a function of the encoder 
used for the code. An algorithm is proposed, identical in nature to that encountered in unequal error protection codes, for finding an optimal linear encoder 
that minimizes the symbol error rate for a fixed complete standard array decoder.
