For these environments, a novel hybrid RCPC coding scheme with a modified puncturing matrix is proposed based on the insertion of variable silence periods. This transmission technique achieves better bit-error rate results than conventional RCPC and convolutional coding schemes, in agreement to the obtained increase in the peak-to-average optical power ratio.
