Abstract :
Improved upper bounds on both burst and bit error probabilities for maximum-likelihood decoding of fixed binary convolutional codes on the binary symmetric channel are derived. The bounds are evaluated for rate R=1/2 encoders and comparisons are made with simulations and with the bounds of Viterbi (1971) and Van de Meeberg (1974). The new bounds are significantly better than Van de Meeberg´s bounds for rates above the computational cut-off rate R0
