Over the years, error control coding has attracted both mathematicians and engineers, but until now, no one book has approached the subject from both points of view. This applications-oriented volume provides practicing engineers and researchers with the information necessary to design and implement error control subsystems for digital communications systems. Its comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of finite field theory, block codes, convolutional/trellis codes, and system design, is both readable and interesting to mathematicians and engineers alike. Provides practical application/implementation notes on every major type of error control system -- with detailed performance analyses. Contains an understandable, but moderately rigorous introduction to the theory of finite fields. Includes a unique presentation on error control for channels with feedback, an excellent tutorial on trellis coded modulation, and an up-to-date treatment of ARQ protocols. Features a large number of diagrams and examples, many drawn from the space program. The main reference on the design of the major error control systems for practicing engineers in the telecommunications industry, and for researchers new to the field.

From the Back Cover

This introductory book on error control coding focuses on key implementation issues and performance analysis with applications valuable to both mathematicians and engineers.
