Convolutional Codes and Decoding Algorithms Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Convolutional Codes and Decoding Algorithms.

Convolutional Codes Convolutional codes work on the bits in a stream. They can be specified with three parameters similar to a block code specification.

For example, the RSV code, which was the best performing code until turbo codes, was a hybrid of the Reed-Solomon code, which is a block code, with a Viterbi convolutional code.
