Description: "Without abandoning the theoretical foundations, Fundamentals of Information Theory and Coding Design presents working algorithms and implementation that can be used to design and create real systems. The emphasis is on the underlying concepts governing information theory and the mathematical basis for modern coding systems, but the authors also provide the practical details of important codes like Reed-Solomon, BCH, and Turbo codes. Also setting this book apart are discussions on the cascading of information channels and the additivity of information, the details of arithmetic coding, and the connection between coding of extensions and Markov modeling.". "Complete, balanced coverage, an outstanding format, and a wealth of examples and exercises make this an outstanding text for upper-level students in computer science, mathematics, and engineering, and a valuable reference for telecommunications engineers and coding theory researchers."--BOOK JACKET.
