A novel criterion for the construction of MDS convolutional codes of rate 1/n

Maximum-distance separable (MDS) convolutional codes are characterized by the property that their free distance reaches the generalized Singleton bound. In this paper, a new criterion to construct MDS convolutional codes of rank 1 is presented. This criterion allows to relate the construction of MDS convolutional codes to the construction of reverse superregular Toeplitz matrices. Additionally, we present some construction examples for small code parameters over small finite fields.
