The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to error correction
coding, including both classical block- and trellis-based codes and the recent developments
in iteratively decoded codes such as turbo codes and low-density parity-check codes. The
presentation is intended to provide a background useful both to engineers, who need to
understand algorithmic aspects for the deployment and implementation of error correction
coding, and to researchers, who need sufficient background to prepare them to read, un-
derstand, and ultimately contribute to the research literature. The practical algorithmic
aspects are built upon a firm foundation of mathematics, which are carefully motivated and
developed.Error control coding in the context of digital communication has a history dating back to
the middle of the twentieth century. In recent years, the field has been revolutionized by
codes which are capable of approaching the theoretical limits of performance, the channel
capacity. This has been impelled by a trend away from purely combinatoric and discrete
approaches to coding theory toward codes which are more closely tied to a physical channel
and soft decoding techniques.The purpose of this book is to present error correctioddetection coding in a modern
setting, covering both traditional concepts thoroughly as well as modern developments in
soft-decision and iteratively decoded codes and recent decoding algorithms for algebraic
codes. An attempt has been made to maintain some degree of balance between the math-
ematics and their engineering implications by presenting both the mathematical methods
used in understanding the codes as well as the algorithms which are used to efficiently
encode and decode.
