Channel Coding in Communication Networks by Alain Glavieux Book PDF Summary
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject ofchannel coding. It starts with a description of information theory,focusing on the quantitative measurement of information andintroducing two fundamental theorems on source and channel coding.The basics of channel coding in two chapters, block codes andconvolutional codes, are then discussed, and for these the authorsintroduce weighted input and output decoding algorithms andrecursive systematic convolutional codes, which are used in therest of the book. Trellis coded modulations, which have their primary applicationsin high spectral efficiency transmissions, are then covered, beforethe discussion moves on to an advanced coding technique calledturbocoding. These codes, invented in the 1990s by C. Berrou and A.Glavieux, show exceptional performance. The differences betweenconvolutional turbocodes and block turbocodes are outlined, and foreach family, the authors present the coding and decodingtechniques, together with their performances. The book concludeswith a chapter on the implementation of turbocodes in circuits. As such, anyone involved in the areas of channel coding anderror correcting coding will find this book to be of invaluableassistance.
