Abstract

An improved bidirectional search algorithm for computing the weight spectrum of convolutional codes is presented. This algorithm does not employ the column distance function of a code which plays an important role in the original bidirectional search algorithm. We show the proposed algorithm can reduce computaion time for obtaining the weigth spectrum of convolutional codes significantly compared with that of the bidirectional search algorithm.
