Book Description

Error-Correcting Codes (henceforth, just codes) are clever ways of representing data so that one can recover the original information even if parts of it are corrupted. The basic idea is to judiciously introduce redundancy so that the original information can be recovered even when parts of the (redundant) data have been corrupted.

This book introduces the reader to the theoretical foundations of error-correcting codes, with an emphasis on Reed-Solomon codes and their derivative codes. After reviewing linear codes and finite fields, it describes Reed-Solomon codes and various decoding algorithms. Cyclic codes are presented, as are MDS codes, graph codes, and codes in the Lee metric. Concatenated, trellis, and convolutional codes are also discussed in detail.

• Error-Correction Coding and Decoding (Martin Tomlinson, et al)

  This book discusses both the theory and practical applications of self-correcting data, commonly known as Error-Correcting Codes. The applications included demonstrate the importance of these codes in a wide range of everyday technologies.

• Coding Theory: A First Course (Henk C.A. van Tilborg)

  Coding Theory is concerned with successfully transmitting data through a noisy channel and correcting errors in corrupted messages. This book provides a thoroughly modern introduction to coding theory.

• Coding Theory and Cryptography: From Enigma to Quantum Theory

  This book concerns elementary and advanced aspects of coding theory and cryptography. Deal mostly with algebraic coding theory and some mathematical aspects of the Enigma rotor machine and quantum cryptography are described.
