Abstract
In this paper, we analyse the performance of rate-compatible punctured convolutional
(RCPC) codes for wireless optical communications systems. For these environments,
a novel hybrid RCPC coding scheme with amodified puncturing matrix is proposed based on
the insertion of variable silence periods. This transmission technique achieves better bit-error
rate results than conventional RCPC and convolutional coding schemes, in agreement to the
obtained increase in the peak-to-average optical power ratio.
