The rate 1/3, K = 3, binary convolutional code with transfer function given by Equation 8.1-21 is used for transmitting data over a Rayleigh fading channel via binary PSK.
1. Determine and plot the probability of error for hard decision decoding. Assume that the transmitted waveforms corresponding to the coded bits fade independently.
2. Determine and plot the probability of error for soft decision decoding. Assume that the waveforms corresponding to the coded bits fade independently.
