Abstract
Partial unit memory (PUM) convolutional codes constructed from block codes make it possible to obtain convolutional codes with high correcting properties. An ensemble of binary PUM convolutional codes based on low-density parity-check block codes is introduced. This ensemble is specified by semi-infinite parity-check matrices with partial unit memory. The asymptotic bounds on a free distance and active row distances are derived for codes of the specified ensemble. It is proved that the ensemble codes have the positive slope of active row distances.
