Abstract
The Golay convolutional code and related block codes are investigated from an application point of vies. We calculate the distance spectrum of the Gol ay convolutional code and the weight distributions of the block codes using the transfer-matrix method. The performance of the considered codes is sho wn and discussed. Moreover, the codes are applied as component codes of par allel concatenated codes which are iteratively decoded.
