Coding, Communications and Broadcasting Fourth Volume on Communications and Broadcasting

Covers recent research topics in three important related areas of digital communication theory and practice: coding for error control, communication systems and techniques, and digital broadcasting with emphasis on operation below 30MHz. All the chapters are updated, expanded and edited versions of presentations made by outstanding and well known international researchers from academia and industry at the International Symposium on Communication Theory and Applications, held in July 1999 at Ambleside, Cumbria, UK. The section on coding (an area for which the Symposium is famous) contains the latest results on turbo and low-density parity check codes, on interactive and low complexity decoding, on source coding and cryptography, and on some additional related topics. Highlights of the section on communication systems include chapters on equalization, image transmission, sequence design and synchronization. Finally, the chapter in the section on broadcasting describe the exiting possibilities for development at transmission frequencies below 30MHz, and also include a review of current and future developments in digital video broadcasting.Farrell, Paddy is the author of 'Coding, Communications and Broadcasting Fourth Volume on Communications and Broadcasting', published 2000 under ISBN 9780863802591 and ISBN 0863802591.
