Multi-level trellis codes for the Gaussian channel and for channels subject to impulsive noise.
01 January 1989
Imai and Hirakawa have proposed a multilevel coding method based on binary block codes that admits a staged decoding procedure. This method has been extended to the design of codes for the Gaussian channel by Ginzburg and Tanner. In this paper we design multi-level coset codes for the Gaussian channel and for channels that are subject to both Gaussian and impulsive noise.
