Abstract
Communication systems and methods are disclosed involving the transmission and reception of short block-length messages. In many embodiments, transmitters are utilized that encode messages by combing: at least a first partial codeword generated using a first encoder based upon a first convolutional code and a first expurgating linear function; and a second partial codeword generated by a second encoder based upon a second convolutional code and a second expurgating linear function. In a number of embodiments, receivers are utilized that decode received messages using a full decoder that reconstructs the transmitted message bits based upon: at least a first set of partial codewords produced by a first partial decoder based upon the first convolutional code and the first expurgating linear function; and a second set of partial codewords generated by a second partial decoder based upon the second convolutional code and the second expurgating linear function.
