Summary
Channel coding lies at the heart of digital communication and data storage. Fully updated to include current innovations in the field, including a new chapter on polar codes, this detailed introduction describes the core theory of channel coding, decoding algorithms, implementation details, and performance analyses. This edition includes over 50 new end-of-chapter problems to challenge students and numerous new figures and examples throughout.
The authors emphasize a practical approach and clearly present information on modern channel codes, including polar, turbo, and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, as well as detailed coverage of BCH codes, Reed–Solomon codes, convolutional codes, finite geometry codes, and product codes for error correction, providing a one-stop resource for both classical and modern coding techniques.
Assuming no prior knowledge in the field of channel coding, the opening chapters begin with basic theory to introduce newcomers to the subject. Later chapters then begin with classical codes, continue with modern codes, and extend to advanced topics such as code ensemble performance analyses and algebraic LDPC code design.
300 varied and stimulating end-of-chapter problems test and enhance learning, making this an essential resource for students and practitioners alike.
Provides a one-stop resource for both classical and modern coding techniques.
Starts with the basic theory before moving on to advanced topics, making it perfect for newcomers to the field of channel coding.
180 worked examples guide students through the practical application of the theory.
