Features: Information theory is the fundamental theory of information science, and error-correcting codes, along with source coding and secret coding, are collectively known as the "three major codes" of information theory, forming the core content of the field. Error-correcting codes are primarily used for error control in digital systems, playing a significant role in ensuring the quality of digital transmission processes such as communication, storage, media playback, and information transfer. They are an indispensable part of the knowledge structure in communication and information-related disciplines.
This book introduces the basic principles, design methods, and practical applications of error-correcting codes. The entire book is divided into 7 chapters, covering the fundamental principles of channels and coding, the main contents of coding-related topics in modern algebra, the structure and characteristics of linear block codes, cyclic codes, and convolutional codes, as well as the design and application of network coding modulation (TCM), concatenated codes, and Turbo codes. The exposition of principles in each chapter emphasizes concepts and approaches, striving to minimize the inclusion of overly detailed references.
