Convolutional Coding: A Memory-Based Encoding Technique with Code Implementation Insights
Convolutional code is a memory-based encoding technique where at any given time unit, the encoder's n outputs depend not only on the current k inputs but also on the previous m inputs. Typically denoted as (n, k, m), this simulation employs a (2, 1, 3) convolutional code structure. The implementation involves shift registers for memory management and polynomial generators for output computation.
