Rapid advances in electronic and optical technology have enabled
the implementation of powerful error-control codes, which are now
used in almost the entire range of information systems with close
to optimal performance. These codes and decoding methods are
required for the detection and correction of the errors and
erasures which inevitably occur in digital information during
transmission, storage and processing because of noise, interference
and other imperfections.
Error-control coding is a complex, novel and unfamiliar area,
not yet widely understood and appreciated. This book sets out to
provide a clear description of the essentials of the subject, with
comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the most useful codes and
their decoding algorithms. A practical engineering and information
technology emphasis, as well as relevant background material and
fundamental theoretical aspects, provides an in-depth guide to the
essentials 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 Information Theory Presents EXIT chart performance
analysis for iteratively decoded error-control techniques Heavily
illustrated with tables, diagrams, graphs, worked examples, and
exercises Includes an invaluable companion website featuring slides
of figures, algorithm software, updates and solutions to
problems
Offering a complete overview of Error Control Coding, this book
is an indispensable resource for students, engineers and
researchers in the areas of telecommunications engineering,
communication networks, electronic engineering, computer science,
information systems and technology, digital signal processing and
applied mathematics.
