Error-Control Techniques for Digital Communications

This practical handbook provides communication systems engineers with guidance in the application of error-control coding. It emphasizes the fundamental concepts of coding theory while minimizing the use of mathematical tools...demonstrates the role of coding in communication system design...shows the performance gains achievable with coding...illustrates how codes should be used and how to select the right code parameters...discusses the decoding techniques that should be considered and how they are implemented...and examines how detailed performance results are obtained.Michelson, Arnold M. is the author of 'Error-Control Techniques for Digital Communications' with ISBN 9780471880745 and ISBN 0471880744.
