Contemporary Coding Techniques and Applications for Mobile Communications

Modern error control coding methods based on turbo coding have essentially solved the problem of reliable data communications over noisy channels. Contemporary Coding Techniques and Applications for Mobile Communications provides a clear, comprehensive, and practical foundation on the basics of contemporary coding techniques and their applications for mobile communications. The first half of the text presents fundamental information on modulation, multiplexing, channel models, and traditional coding methods; the second half explains advanced coding techniques, provides simulation results, and compares them with related methods. It also provides new coding algorithms and new research areas such as image transmission with step by step guidelines.
