Fundamentals of Convolutional Coding

Beschreibung

Fundamentals of Convolutional Coding, Second Edition, regarded as a bible of convolutional coding brings you a clear and comprehensive discussion of the basic principles of this field. This edition has been expanded to reflect the developments in modern coding theory, including new chapters on low-density parity-check convolutional codes and turbo codes. Since these types of codes are now appearing in industry standards, application engineers and scientists will also find this book essential to obtaining a basic understanding of the theory behind these new techniques. Written by two leading authorities in coding and information theory, it is unmatched in the field for its accessible analysis of the structural properties of convolutional encoders. Other essentials covered include: * Viterbi, BCJR, BEAST, list, and sequential decoding * Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and iterative decoding * Turbo codes and iterative coding * An extensive set of practice problems The authors draw on their own research and more than 40 years of teaching experience to present the fundamentals needed to understand the codes used in a variety of applications today. The book can be used as a textbook for graduate-level electrical engineering students.
