“…In the short block length regime, concatenating an inner convolutional code with an outer CRC code (referred to hereafter as ''CRC+CC'') with moderate/small memory has shown remarkable performance, closely approaching finite block length bounds [8] even at low error rates, while maintaining doable decoding complexity [4]. Extensive research has been conducted on CRC+CC schemes [1], [4], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21].…”
