An Introduction to Channel Coding Techniques
Giorgio Matteo Vitetta, Desmond P. Taylor, Giulio Colavolpe, Fabrizio Pancaldi, Philippa A. Martin · 2013
This chapter provides a brief introduction to channel coding techniques. After summarizing some basic principles concerning code properties and design, it describes the standard interleaving schemes. More recently, considerable attention has been paid to the problem of the design of pseudorandom interleavers, since they are a basic component of a class of powerful channel codes, known as turbo codes. A system block diagram illustrates the use of interleaving and deinterleaving in a wireless data communication system. The chapter also provides a classification of channel coding and coded modulation schemes. Finally, it provides some notes about the birth of coding techniques and a few suggestions for further reading. Controlled Vocabulary Terms channel coding; interleaved codes; pulse code modulation; random sequences; wireless communication
