The proposed code is based on combining convolutional coding with a q-ary linear combination and unequal energy allocation. Simulation results suggest that for very low Bit Error Rates (BER) the proposed system will exhibit lower error floors than previous approaches, with a small performance penalty at mid-range BERs. On the other hand, when selecting an error floor higher than the previous approaches, the loss in performance at mid-range BERs is negligible.4enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.1109/LCOMM.2012.073112.121295Flexible channel codingshort-length codewordsModeling and SimulationComputer Science ApplicationsElectrical and Electronic Engineeringhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=84866612822&partnerID=8YFLogxK
