Editorial Reviews

Review

1999 ...This is an extraordinary collection of survey articles to almost all aspects of coding theory written by experts in the field. The authors have taken a broad perspective on their topics, and, by interacting with other authors, have often established links between the chapters. Open problems are often identified, and many chapters bring the reader to the frontiers of research. Each chapter provides an extensive bibliography that will be a tool to extend the development of that chapter. It is defintely a must for every library. -- Zentralblatt fur Mathematik, vol. 905

This review is from: Handbook of Coding Theory, Volume 1: Part 1 : Algebraic Coding (Hardcover)

This is an EXCELLENT reference manual. Its a "bit" mathematical, but does need to be updated regarding turbo codes.
