Synopsis
Forty-five international specialists contribute to this volume honoring MIT professor and information theorist, G. David Forney, Jr. Twenty-three essays are organized into sections on convolutional codes, turbo codes, and other words of wisdom; detection and equalization; modems; physics and information theory; lattices and geometry; and behaviors and codes on graphs. A sampling of topics: concatenated codes with convolutional inner codes, least squares and Kalman filtering on Forney graphs, existence of good codes with low peak-to-average power ratios, Huffman shaping, lattices and cryptography, and the tetrahedral Golay code.
