title = "Upper bounds on the number of errors corrected by a convolutional code",
abstract = "We derive upper bounds on the weights of error patterns that can be corrected by a convolutional code with given parameters, or equivalently we give bounds on the code rate for a given set of error patterns. The bounds parallel the Hamming bound for block codes by relating the number of error patterns to the number of distinct syndromes.",
