Description

Using easy-to-follow mathematics, this textbook provides comprehensive coverage of block codes and techniques for reliable communications and data storage. It covers major code designs and constructions from geometric, algebraic, and graph-theoretic points of view, decoding algorithms, error control additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and erasure, and dataless recovery. It simplifies a highly mathematical subject to a level that can be understood and applied with a minimum background in mathematics, provides step-by-step explanation of all covered topics, both fundamental and advanced, and includes plenty of practical illustrative examples to assist understanding. Numerous homework problems are included to strengthen student comprehension of new and abstract concepts, and a solutions manual is available online for instructors. Modern developments, including polar codes, are also covered. An essential textbook for senior undergraduates and graduates taking introductory coding courses, students taking advanced full-year graduate coding courses, and professionals working on coding for communications and data storage.

Author Biography

Shu Lin is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Davis, and an IEEE Life Fellow. He has authored and co-authored several books, including LDPC Codes Designs, Constructions, and Unification and Channel Codes: Classical and Modern (Cambridge 2016, 2009). Juane Li is Staff Systems Architect at Micron Technology Inc., San Jose, having previously completed her PhD at the University of California, Davis. She is also a co-author of LDPC Codes Designs, Constructions, and Unification (Cambridge University Press, 2009).

Reviews

'... masterfully provides a comprehensive treatment of both traditional codes as well as new and most promising coding families and decoding algorithms ...' Bane Vasic, University of Arizona ' an excellent, unique, and valuable contribution to the teaching of the subject.' Ian Blake, University of British Columbia 'A highly readable introduction into the theory of block codes, including classical code constructions, an extensive treatment of LDPC codes, with emphasis on quasi-cyclic constructions, and an introduction to polar codes. Recommended for a beginning graduate course in coding, with enough material for either one or two semesters. Numerous examples and problems make the book very student friendly.' Daniel Costello, University of Notre Dame
