The subject of error-control coding bridges several disciplines, in
particular mathematics, electrical engineering and computer
science. The theory of error-control codes is often described
abstractly in mathematical terms only, for the benefit of other
coding specialists. Such a theoretical approach to coding makes it
difficult for engineers to understand the underlying concepts of
error correction, the design of digital error-control systems, and
the quantitative behavior of such systems. In this book only a
minimal amount of mathematics is introduced in order to describe
the many, sometimes mathematical, aspects of error-control coding.
The concepts of error correction and detection are in many cases
sufficiently straightforward to avoid highly theoretical algebraic
constructions. The reader will find that the primary emphasis of
the book is on practical matters, not on theoretical problems. In
fact, much of the material covered is summarized by examples of
real developments, and almost all of the error-correction and
detection codes introduced are attached to related practical
applications. Error-Control Coding for Data Networks takes a
structured approach to channel-coding, starting with the basic
coding concepts and working gradually towards the most
sophisticated coding systems. The most popular applications are
described throughout the book. These applications include the
channel-coding techniques used in mobile communication systems,
such as: the global system for mobile communications (GSM) and the
code-division multiple-access (CDMA) system, coding schemes for
High-Definition TeleVision (HDTV) system, the Compact Disk (CD),
and Digital Video Disk (DVD), as well as theerror-control protocols
for the data-link layers of networks, and much more. The book is
compiled carefully to bring engineers, coding specialists, and
students up to date in the important modern coding technologies.
Both electrical engineering students and communication engineers
will benefit from the information in this largely self-contained
text on error-control system engineering.
