Algorithms for Communications Systems and their Applications

Based on a wealth of teaching experience and professional experience acquired in leading–edge industrial research laboratories, the authors explain the procedures used for solving problems posed by the design of systems for reliable communications over wired or wireless channels. This is achieved by following four main tracks: introduction to telecommunications, modulation techniques, implementation of transceiver functions, and finally by addressing challenges encountered in the design of reliable communications systems. This authoritative volume provides an instructive tool to students of communications systems and presents the fundamental algorithms and structures used for telecommunication technologies.
∗ Introduces the theoretical elements of algorithms for communications systems
∗ Focuses on the fundamental developments in the field in order to provide the reader with the necessary insight to design elements of various systems
∗ Presents and investigates from several perspectives important topics such as modulation techniques for wireless systems, spread spectrum systems, OFDM, the Viterbi algorithm, the forward–backward algorithm, turbo codes, low–density parity–check codes, iterative equalization and decoding, and interference cancellation
A great asset for leading–edge researchers, Algorithms for Communications Systems and their Applications is both a graduate level text and a reference book for professional engineers.
