Ouvrage 1-58053-032-X : ERROR-CONTROL BLOCK CODES FOR COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERS
Put the latest practical information available on error-control block coding and decoding to work for you with this handy new reference. It examines in detail linear block codes, cyclic codes, BCH codes, RS codes, and mutlilevel block-coded modulation and provides valuable simulation results to save you time in understanding and using error-control block codes.
Featuring real-world applications to such technologies as space and mobile communications, and compact disks, as well as many clear illustrations of technique, this is a one-stop tool for designing and engineering coded transmissions for reliable digital communications.
The book helps you...
ùDecode on erasure channels with block codes or BCH and RS codes ùDesign efficient coded modulation schemes for bandwidth-constraint channels ùDecode BCH and RS codes with Euclid's algorithm ùGenerate BCH and RS codes
Preface
Error-control coding covers a large class of codes and decoding techniques. Block codes and convolutional codes are commonly used in digital communication systems for reliable transmission of data. The book departs from the usual format in one major respect: it is devoted to the theory of error-control block codes and their related topics. Emphasis is on random error-control block codes. Burst error-control block codes are briefly discussed. Every effort has been made to explain the material as simply as possible, with examples and illustrations whenever possible. Of course, this book is by no means complete. New error-comuol codes and decoding methods are the result of ongoing research activities in digital communications. Naturally, a completion of the book also signals and demands the beginning of new materials.
I assume that the reader has a sound knowledge of probability theory. I have been teaching much of the material presented here in universities over the last few years. The book can be used as a text for a final-year undergraduate or first-year graduate course on error-control block coding. It can also serve engineers who acquire knowledge of error-control block codes.
Each of the eight chapters begins with an introductory section and is organized as follows:
Chapter 1 is a general review of digital communication systems. The concepts, presented at an elementary level, describe the model and elements of a digital communication system.
Chapter 2 gives an introduction of abstract algebra, vector spaces, and matrices.
Chapter 3 examines the encoding and decoding of linear block codes. This is followed by a brief analysis of their performance with coherent binary phase-shift keying signals.
Chapter 4 is concerned with the encoding and error-trapping decoding of cyclic codes.
Chapter 5 focuses on the encoding and decoding of Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem codes.
Chapter 6 is concerned with the encoding and decoding of Reed-Solomon codes.
Chapter 7 describes the transmission of block-coded signals over bandwidth-constrained channels. The design theory of multilevel block-coded modulation with M-ary phase-shift keying signals is described. Optimum and suboptimum decoding techniques are also presented.
Finally, Chapter 8 explores the applications of block codes to modern communication and noncommunication systems.
A final-year undergraduate course on error-control block coding would cover Chapters I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 and a brief introduction of Chapter 7. A first-year graduate course on error-control block coding would cover all the material in the book. A comprehensive reference section is included at the end of each chapter. It is hoped that the reader will benefit from the text and pursue further study on the topics of error-control coding.
I am grateful to the reviewer at Artech House, who thoroughly read the manuscript and made many valuable suggestions. I would also like to thank Professor Patrick G. Farrell, who taught me error-control coding, and many others who helped throughout the preparation of this book. The contributions of students who pointed out several errors are greatly appreciated.
The guidance I received from Dr. Julie Lancashire, Mr. Michael Webb, and Ms. Susanna Taggart at Artech House, is particularly appreciated. Finally, I thank my parents and my wife, Wendy, for their continuing support throughout the writing of this book.
