Shu Lin, Daniel J. Costello9780132837965, 013283796X

Using a minimum of mathematics, this volume:* covers the fundamentals of coding and the applications of codes to the design of real error control systems.* Considers applications of coding to modern day space and satellitecommunication systems and to digital transmission and data storage systems.* Provides performance curves for comparing different coding approaches.* Contains many tables of the best known codes for decoding structures.* Offers an abundance of worked-out examples.
