There have been considerable advances in channel coding techniques in recent years, in tandem with progressions in signal
processing. These new developments are explored in detail in this comprehensive volume, which presents classic theory and
techniques for block and convolutional codes, with an emphasis on decoding algorithms. It also introduces the powerful
techniques of Generalized Concatenated Coding (GCC), explaining this theory with the use of recently developed concepts,
and the inclusion of many illustrative examples.
