Rapid advances in electronic and optical technology have enabledthe implementation of powerful error-control codes, which are nowused in almost the entire range of information systems with closeto optimal performance. These codes and decoding methods arerequired for the detection and correction of the errors anderasures which inevitably occur in digital information duringtransmission, storage and processing because of noise, interferenceand other imperfections.
Error-control coding is a complex, novel and unfamiliar area,not yet widely understood and appreciated. This book sets out toprovide a clear description of the essentials of the subject, withcomprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the most useful codes andtheir decoding algorithms. A practical engineering and informationtechnology emphasis, as well as relevant background material andfundamental theoretical aspects, provides an in-depth guide to theessentials of Error-Control Coding.
* Provides extensive and detailed coverage of Block, Cyclic, BCH,Reed-Solomon, Convolutional, Turbo, and Low Density Parity Check(LDPC) codes, together with relevant aspects of InformationTheory
* EXIT chart performance analysis for iteratively decodederror-control techniques
* Heavily illustrated with tables, diagrams, graphs, workedexamples, and exercises
* Invaluable companion website features slides of figures,algorithm software, updates and solutions toproblems
Offering a complete overview of Error Control Coding, this bookis an indispensable resource for students, engineers andresearchers in the areas of telecommunications engineering,communication networks, electronic engineering, computer science,information systems and technology, digital signal processing andapplied mathematics.
