| With the excellent performance compared to that of other existing codes, turbo code and its successors have been adopted into many communication systems and incorporated with various industrial standards. To celebrate another communication engineering milestone, leading experts present together with the contemporary applications of most modern systems. Turbo Code Applications provides a vast coverage of those applications starting from data storage systems through wire-line and wireless communications. That includes the utilization in digital video broadcasting, satellite communications, space exploring systems, and the implementation technologies. Turbo Code Applications is a rich source for scientists, engineers, and students who are searching for numerous aspects of turbo code applications which revolutionized the digital communications.
Turbo Code Applications: a journey from a paper to realization presents contemporary applications of turbo codes in thirteen technical chapters. Each chapter focuses on a particular communication technology utilizing turbo codes, and they are written by experts who have been working in related areas from around the world. This book is published to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of turbo codes invention by Claude Berrou Alain Glavieux and Punya Thitimajshima (1993-2003). As known for more than a decade, turbo code is the astonishing error control coding scheme which its performance closes to the Shannon’s limit. It has been honored consequently as one of the seventeen great innovations during the first fifty years of information theory foundation. With the amazing performance compared to that of other existing codes, turbo codes have been adopted into many communication systems and incorporated with various modern industrial standards. Numerous research works have been reported from universities and advance companies worldwide. Evidently, it has successfully revolutionized the digital communications. |
