To meet the new constraints of data rate or reliability new coding schemes are currently being developed. Therefore digital communication systems are in perpetual evolution and it is becoming very difficult to remain compatible with all standards used. A cognitive radio system seems to provide an interesting solution to this problem the conception of an intelligent receiver able to adapt itself to a specific transmission context. This article presents a new algorithm dedicated to the blind recognition of convolutional encoders in the general k n rate case. After a brief recall of convolutional code and dual code properties a new iterative method dedicated to the blind estimation of convolutional encoders in a noisy context is developed. Finally case studies are presented to illustrate the performances of our blind identification method.

This error correcting code allows one to obtain good immunity against channel impairments. Nevertheless the transmission rate is decreased due to the redundancy introduced by a correcting code. To enhance the correction capabilities and to reduce the impact of the amount of redundancy introduced new correcting codes are always under development. This means that communication systems are in perpetual evolution. Indeed it is becoming more and
