stds-802-16: Convolution coder for 802.16
Dear Shyamal,
Thank you for your inquiry. I am forwarding it to the IEEE 802.16
email reflector. Perhaps someone will have a comment.
I do recommend that you read the current version of the standard
rather than a draft. You may download IEEE Std 802.16 here:
http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/802.16.html
Regards,
Roger Marks

>The description of block convolutional coder to be used for the inner code

>decoding process?
