Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving convolutionally coded data in a communication system employing a combination of Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) and Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), wherein the code is selected to have error rate performance that is as good as the best convolutional code used with systems employing only BPSK.
