The Art of Error Correcting Coding provides a comprehensivecoverage of the basic techniques of error concealment. It addressesthe need for selecting, implementing and simulating algorithms forthe encoding and decoding of codes used for error correction anddetection. This practical approach uses simple and easy to follownumerical examples to describe the basic concepts of a particularcoding or decoding scheme. Basic analysis tools are providedthroughout to help in the assessment of the error performance blockand convolutional codes of a particular Error Correcting Coding(ECC) scheme for a selection of the basic channel models.
* Provides a complete treatment of important decoding algorithmsincluding errors-and-erasures decoding of BCH and Reed-Solomoncodes for any set of consecutive zeros and any length
* Describes Viterbi decoding and the key implementationissues
* Includes soft-output decoding algorithms, MAP, log-MAP,Max-log-MAP, belief propagation and ordered statistics
* Discusses new reliability-based algorithms such as GMD and theChase algorithm with soft outputs
* Examines turbo codes, both serially and parallel concatenated, aswell as low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and their iterativedecoders
* Features a companion website providing computer programs writtenin C language, to help understanding and implementing basic ECCtechniques
This volume provides an indispensable tool for understanding andapplying ECC techniques in transmission and storage of digitalinformation. Engineers, computer scientists and graduate studentsalike, will all benefit from such a practical introductoryapproach.
