List of good codes with constraint length and rate-1/2 convolutional mother code. Given are the code rates and of the corresponding convolutional and Turbo code, the pruning pattern, the SNR (dB) where the Turbo code converges, the offset from the Shannon limit (dB), the area between the EXIT curves, and the minimum distance of the convolutional code .
