This practical resource provides engineers with a comprehensive
understanding of error control coding, an essential and widely applied
area in modern digital communications. The goal of error control coding
is to encode information in such a way that even if the channel (or
storage medium) introduces errors, the receiver can correct the errors
and recover the original transmitted information. This book includes the
most useful modern and classic codes, including block, Reed Solomon,
convolutional, turbo, and LDPC codes. Professionals find clear guidance
on code construction, decoding algorithms, and error correcting
performances. Moreover, this unique book introduces computer simulations
integrally to help readers master key concepts. Including a companion
DVD with MATLAB programs and supported with over 540 equations, this
hands-on reference provides an in-depth treatment of a wide range of
practical implementation issues. DVD is included! It contains carefully
designed MATLAB programs that practitioners can apply to their projects
in the field.
