Description: Convolutional codes, among the main error control codes, are routinely used in applications for mobile telephony, satellite communications, and voice-band modems. Written by two leading authorities in coding and information theory, this book brings you a clear and comprehensive discussion of the basic principles underlying convolutional coding. This book can be used as a textbook for graduate-level electrical engineering students.

It will be of key interest to researchers and engineers of wireless and mobile communication, satellite communication, and data communication.
