Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the performance of a concatenated code with two different inner decoding schemes. One is the error-detecting inner coding, and the other is the error-detecting-and-correcting inner coding scheme. We compare the performance of the two decoding schemes for finite and infinite block length cases when the concatenated code is applied to slow frequency-hopping spread-spectrum multiple access (FH-SSMA) communication systems. Our results show that the error-detecting-and-correcting inner decoding scheme outperforms the error-detecting inner decoding scheme for finite block lengths, while there exists a performance trade-off for infinite block length case
