Turbo coding principlea have found widespread
applications
in
information theory and, in part, have entered into
mainstream
telecommunication theory and practice. These
Principles
are used in
error control, detection, interference suppression,
equalization,
and other communications-related areas.
TURBO CODES: Principles
and Applications is intended for use by
advances level students and professional engineers
involved in coding
and telecommunication research. The material is
organized into a
coherent framework, starting with basic concepts
of block and convo-
lutional coding, and gradually increasing in a
logical
and progressive
manner to more advanced material, including
applications.
All algorithms
are fully described and supported by examples, and
evaluations of their
performance are carried out both analytically and
by simulations.
The book includes new and original material on a
bidirectional SOVA
decoding algorithm, design of turbo codes based
on the distance
spectrum, design of code-matched interleavers,
performance
on fading
channels, and a turbo trellis coded modulation
scheme.
Trellis-based and
iterative decoding algorithms, along with a
comparison
of algorithms
based on their performance and complexity, are
discussed.
Various
practical aspects of turbo coding, such as
interleaver
design, turbo codes
on fading channels, and turbo trellis-coded
modulation,
are presented.
TURBO CODES: Principles
and Applications will be especially useful to
practicing communications engineers, researchers,
and advanced level
students who are designing turbo coding systems,
including encoder/
decoder and interleavers, and carrying out
performance
analysis and
sensitivity studies.

The capacity of wireless data communications is
lagging
behind demands
due to unsatisfactory performance of the existing
wireless networks, such as
low data rates, low spectral efficiency and low
quality of service.
Space-time coding is an effective transmit diversity
technique to combat
fading in wireless communications.
Space-time codes are a highly bandwidth-efficient
approach to signalling
within wireless communication that takes advantage
of the spatial dimension
by transmitting a number of data streams using
multiple
co-located antennas.
There are various approaches to the coding
structures,
including space-time
trellis coded modulation, space-time turbo codes
and also layered architectures.
The central issue in all these various coding
structures
is the exploitation of
multipath effects in order to achieve very high
spectral efficiencies.
The spectral efficiencies of traditional wireless
systems range between
1-5bps/sec/Hz but by using space-time techniques
spectral efficiencies
of 20-40bps/sec/Hz have been possible. Hence,
space-time
coding enables
an increase in capacity by an order of magnitude.
This is the main reason why
space-time codes have been included in the standards
for the third generation
wireless communication systems and ultimately why
Space-time Coding will
be in great demand by individuals within industry
and academia.
The comprehensive understanding of space-time
coding
is essential in the
implementation of 3G, and as the only title
currently
available, Space-Time Coding
will be the standard text for Researchers,
telecommunication
engineers and network
planners, academics and undergraduate/postgraduate
students, telecommunications
managers and consultants.
