From the Back Cover

A major reference to error control using trellis and turbocoding
In the last fifty years, research in error control coding has brought forthmany advances. Recently, modern error control coding methods based on turbocoding have essentially solved the problem of reliable data communications overnoisy channels. This book provides both industrial and academic communitieswith a clear, comprehensive, and practical grounding on the fundamentals,theory, and application of trellis and turbo coding.

Built on the belief that this combination of error controlcoding techniques will be the workhorse of future digital data links, thisfollow-up to the classic Trellis Coding provides in-depth chapters on:

• Modern digital communications, error control coding, and the drive towards capacity
• Communication theory basics, including the probabilistic viewpoint, vector communication channels, matched filters, and message sequences
• Trellis coded modulation, convolutional codes, performance bounds, and decoding strategies
• Turbo coded modulation, parallel and serial concatenation
• The most recent analysis techniques for turbo codes, applications, and emerging standards
