Abstract

A rate R = 5/20 hypergraph-based woven convolutional code with overall constraint length 67 and constituent convolutional codes is presented. It is based on a 3-partite, 3-uniform, 4-regular hypergraph and contains rate Rc = 3/4 constituent convolutional codes with overall constraint length 5. Although the code construction is based on low-complexity codes, the free distance of this construction, computed with the BEAST algorithm, is dfree = 120, which is remarkably large.
