Abstract
Part II presents a unified code-generation algorithm which contains new codes with rates from 14/15 to 49/50. For use with this class of codes, some simplifications of the weighted maximum likelihood decoding are suggested. An approximated error probability expression is set forth for using these codes in communications satellite channels, The measured results are remarkably close to the error rate calculations.
