Accuracy is an increasingly critical issue in digital communication, but few books have provided the nonspecialist user with the fundamentals of error-correcting codes - until now. Guiding you from general concepts through the most common error-correcting codes applied to bit transmission in packet-switched networks and personal cellular systems, this book explains error-correction techniques using redundant bits. It enables users to design and implement error-correcting systems with less effort than ever before.
Introduction. Linear Codes. Cyclic Codes. BCH Codes. Convolutional Codes.
