In this paper, we confront the challenge of constructing an optimal 2D convolutional code when communicating over an erasure channel. We propose a general construction method for these codes. Specifically, we provide an optimal construction where the decoding method presented in the bibliography is considered.</jats:p>endecodingdecoding2D convolutional codes2D convolutional codescomplexitycomplexitylinear decodinglinear decodingoptimal constructionoptimal construction MSC: 94B1094B35journal article
