Overview
This book provides an excellent mix of theory and practice. Starting with information theory and classical coding theory, the text covers the message passing concept that forms the basis of modern coding techniques, including turbo codes and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, and then discusses a large number of turbo code combinations - including industry standards such as DVB-RCS, 3GPP, and CDMA2000. Numerous implementation issues and examples of commercially available turbo codes and products are explored in detail.
This comprehensive treatment of the topic will enable the reader to select, evaluate, and implement the turbo code suitable for their application.
Synopsis
Three researchers report the findings of their research at Concordia University, adding background material where necessary to make the treatise suitable for graduate students conducting research in digital communications and practicing engineers involved in designing communication circuits and systems. They provide enough information about turbo codes, introduced in 1993, to allow readers to select, evaluate and implement them in specific applications. The disk contains programs for simulating and evaluating the performance of the codes. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
