Systematically explaining the design and implementation of new error correction codes, this book is also a unique single source to help readers develop competitive solutions quickly and efficiently. The book begins by covering the fundamental issues regarding the error correction field, showing the basic concepts and implementation aspects involved in error correction codes. Practical guidelines for implementing error correction codes in software or hardware are provided and new error correction techniques, as well as important old techniques, are covered with implementation examples. Later, the book moves on to it more sophisticated channel codes, which are mostly LDPC based. With the help of this book, readers will be able to translate modern standards and future technologies into usable implementations.
