Cascaded Tree Codes.
Abstract
Cascaded codes are long codes that are constructed by successively encoding a series of relatively short constituent codes. The purpose of cascading is to facilitate decoding by dividing the composite decoding process into a sequence of relatively simple steps, each of which corresponds to the decoding of one of the constituent codes. One studies cascading techniques in which the constituent codes are tree codes. One determines the efficiency attainable with cascading, and bound the attainable error probability in terms of the composite decoding complexity. (Author)
