Convolution Encoder, Encoding Device, and Convolution Encoding Method

摘要

A bit register is restored to the initial state thereof irrespective of the state of the bit register even when a convolution encoder includes a circular section. The convolution encoder comprises an input data acquiring section (F11) for acquiring input data; an encoding object data generating section (F10) for generating encoding object data on the basis of the input data; a storage section (M10) for storing data corresponding to the encoding object data; a mod2 adder (S10) for performing convolution processing of the encoding object data on the basis of the data stored in the storage section (M10); and a switching section (F12) for switching at a prescribed timing the encoding object data generated by the encoding object data generating section (F10) from data based on the input data to data based on the data stored in the storage section (M10); wherein the data stored in the storage section (M10) are data obtained as a result of the convolution processing.
