Encoding a communications channel to ensure error-free transmission. Channel coding modifies the outgoing message, which is known as "forward error correction" (FEC ...

Coding allows bit errors introduced by transmission of a modulated signal through a wireless channel to be either detected or corrected by a decoder in the receiver. Coding can be considered as the ...

Fully updated, including a new chapter on polar codes, this detailed introduction describes the core theory of channel coding, decoding algorithms, implementation details, and performance analyses.
