description: Convolutional codes, among the main error control codes, are routinely used in applications for mobile telephony, satellite communications, and voice-band modems. Written by two leading authorities in coding and information theory, this book brings you a clear and comprehensive discussion of the basic principles underlying convolutional coding. Fundamentals of Convolutional Coding is unmatched in the field for its accessible analysis of the structural properties of convolutional encoders. Other essentials covered in Fundamentals of Convolutional Coding include:
The authors draw on their own research and
more than 20 years of teaching experience to present the fundamentals needed to
understand the types of codes used in a variety of applications today. This
book can be used as a textbook for graduate-level electrical engineering
students. It will be of key interest to researchers and engineers of wireless
and mobile communication, satellite communication, and data
communication.
