Error Control Systems for Digital Communication and Storage

This introductory book on error control coding focuses on key implementation issues and performance analysis with applications valuable to both mathematicians and engineers. FEATURES: features a complete discussion ofpunctured convolutional codes. includesfull-chapter coverage of performance analysis of block codes, includingcode performance over the fading channel(i.e., cellular mobile phone systems). examines system implementation issues for theViterbi Decoderand the various decoders forReed-Solomon and BCH codes. devotes two full chapters to thetheory of finite fields. features the most current research results onerror control for channels with feedback. includes an entire chapter ontrellis coded modulation. includeshistorical backgroundand emphasizespractical, up-to-date applications(i.e., the space program) for all key areas in the book.Wicker, Stephen B. is the author of 'Error Control Systems for Digital Communication and Storage', published 1994 under ISBN 9780132008099 and ISBN 0132008092.
