Error-control coding for data networks

the long version

"Error-Control Coding for Data Networks takes a structured approach to channel coding, starting with the basic coding concepts and working gradually towards the most sophisticated coding systems. The most popular applications are described throughout the book. The book is compiled carefully to bring engineers, coding specialists, and students up to date in the important modern coding technologies. Both electrical engineering students and communication engineers will benefit from the information in this, for the most part, self-contained text on error-control system engineering."--BOOK JACKET.
