Product Description
Book Description
Building on the success of the first edition, which offered a practical introductory approach to the techniques of error concealment, this book, now fully revised and updated, provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject and includes a wealth of additional features. The Art of Error Correcting Coding, Second Edition explores intermediate and advanced level concepts as well as those which will appeal to the novice.
All key topics are discussed, including Reed-Solomon codes, Viterbi decoding, soft-output decoding algorithms, MAP, log-MAP and MAX-log-MAP. Reliability-based algorithms GMD and Chase are examined, as are turbo codes, both serially and parallel concatenated, as well as low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and their iterative decoders.
- Features additional problems at the end of each chapter and an instructor’s solutions manual
- Updated companion website offers new C/C ++programs and MATLAB scripts, to help with the understanding and implementation of basic ECC techniques
- Easy to follow examples illustrate the fundamental concepts of error correcting codes
- Basic analysis tools are provided throughout to help in the assessment of the error performance block and convolutional codes of a particular error correcting coding (ECC) scheme for a selection of the basic channel models
This edition provides an essential resource to engineers, computer scientists and graduate students alike for understanding and applying ECC techniques in the transmission and storage of digital information.

A must have,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Error Correcting Coding (Hardcover)
This book is a great introduction to the topic of error correcting codes. It gives very simple examples to demonstrate the main concepts of coding and decoding for error correction. The part on iterative decoding needs more work. However, the exposition of Reed Solomon codes and their decoding is outstanding. I definitely recommend this book!

Bleeps over important content,
By Harold "System Guy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Error Correcting Coding (Hardcover)
The book attempts to provide a practical perspective without getting into nitty-gritty details of the theory behind error correcting codes. This limits its usefulness of you wish to understand FEC codes and how they work. Worse, its practical treatment has gaps as well, and one is left without the understanding that's needed to fill in the gaps. I went to study the C program for BCH codes in the companion Web site as well: its represents a sparsely commented "point solution" for a very specific code of short word length and is based on sophisticated methods that, while no doubt highly efficient, are only very thinly treated in the book. This makes it very difficult to understand what the program is doing, let alone to generalize it to other flavors of the code. I have found Shu Lin's and Daniel Costello's book "Error Control Coding" to be much more useful.

This review is from: The Art of Error Correcting Coding (Hardcover)
I fully agree witht the previous reviewer. In an attempt to make things look simple, the author forgets that the objective of a good technical and engineering book is not to be just a cookbook for your kitchen where there are no deep whys, but to make the reader actually understand what is going on under the hood. This book fails completely at this, assuming you can reach the end survyving the frustrations, you will not remember the rationale for any single step taken.A much better choice if you really want to understand the subject are Blahut's and Todd Moon's books. |
