Description: "This book provides an excellent mix of theory and practice. Starting with information theory and classical coding theory, the text covers the message passing concept that forms the basis of modem coding techniques including turbo codes and Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes and then discusses a large number of turbo code combinations - including industry standards such as DVB-RCS, 3GPP and CDMA2000.

Numerous implementation issues and examples of commercially available turbo codes and products are explored in detail.".

"Practicing engineers involved in the design of communication circuits and systems and graduate students conducting research in the area of digital communications will benefit from this balanced and insightful treatment. The coverage of different system level concepts, various wireless and satellite communications standards and the available turbo code products makes this work a valuable reference for engineering managers."--BOOK JACKET.
