Brief summary

»Channel Coding«  $($or  »Error-Control Coding«$)$  includes both,  »Error Detection«  as well as  »Forward Error Correction« 

  • which first enables digital signal transmission when the channel is bad  $($small SNR$)$ 
  • and leads to very small error rates when the channel is good enough  $($large SNR$)$.


Here are some keywords from the book content:

  1. Binary linear block codes:  Generator matrix,  parity-heck matrix and decoding.  Examples:  Single parity-check codes,  repetition codes,  Hamming codes.
  2. Error probability bounds:  Minimum distance,  Union bound,  Shannon bound.  Channel coding theorem and channel capacity: error rate vs. code rate.
  3. Reed-Solomon codes:  Algebra fundamentals,  Extension fields,  code parameters,  encoding– and decoding principle,  Singleton bound,  applications.
  4. Convolutional codes:  Algebraic and polynomial description,  state and trellis diagram,  decoding using Viterbi and BCJR algorithm.
  5. Iterative decoding methods:  Soft-in soft-out decoders,  product codes,  turbo codes and low-density parity-check $($LDPC$)$ codes.


Notes:

  • Their mathematics is fundamentally different from that in other disciplines.  However, analogies can often be seen,  e.g., to  »conventional convolution«.
  • An encoding type with a different goal is the  »Source coding«  $($"Data compression"$)$.  Here,  redundancy is not added,  but reduced.
  • Another type of coding is  »Line Coding«  with the aim,  to adapt the transmitted signal spectrally to the transmission channel in the best possible way.


⇒   Here first a  »contents overview«  based on the  »four main chapters«  with a total of  »22 individual chapters«  and  »175 sections«.
