Curves relating bit error rate versus signal to noise ratio are presented for each user, for assessing the performance of distinct convolutional codes when each constituent encoder employs either a two-stage or a three-stage shift-register.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Communication and Information Systems}, author={Alcoforado, Maria de Lourdes Melo Guedes and Bulhões, Lucas and Andrade, Abner and Madeiro, Francisco and da Rocha Jr., Valdemar Cardoso}, year={2017}, month={Nov.} }
