In this paper, we study unequal error protection (UEP) capabilities of
punctured convolutional codes. For constructing the good UEP convolut
ional codes, the conditional weight distributions of UEP convolutional
codes are defined and evaluated. The conditional weight distributions
are computed by using the transfer functions of time-varying trellis
structures of punctured convolutional codes. The best UEP convolutiona
l codes from the viewpoint of the weight distributions are listed.
