A New List Decoding Algorithm for Short-Length TBCCs With CRC
In this paper, a new list decoding algorithm for tail-biting convolutional codes (TBCCs) with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is proposed, where the CRC is considered as a concatenated outer code.The main idea of the proposed algorithm is to modify the list decoding procedure of the TBCC by using the CRC.Two algorithms are proposed for the list dec
