Finally, Part IV concludes the book with a range of very low rate encoding techniques, scanning a range of research-oriented topics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFully updated and revised second edition of “Voice Compression and Communications”, expanded to cover Audio features\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes two new chapters, on narrowband and wideband AMR coding, and MPEG audio coding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses the new developments in the field of wideband speech and audio compression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers compression, error resilience and error correction coding, as well as transmission aspects, including cutting-edge turbo transceivers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents both the historic and current view of speech compression and communications.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eCovering fundamental concepts in a non-mathematical way before moving to detailed discussions of theoretical principles, future concepts and solutions to various specific wireless voice communication problems, this book will appeal to both advanced readers and those with a background knowledge of signal processing and communications. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eLajos Hanzo\u003c\/b\u003e has been with the Department of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK, since 1986 where he holds the Chair in Telecommunications. He received his degree in electronics in 1976 and his doctorate in 1983. During his career in telecommunications he has held various research and academic posts in Hungary, Germany and the UK. Lajos is a Fellow of the IEEE and the IEE as well as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He has co-authored 11 books on mobile radio communications, published over 500 research papers and been awarded a number of distinctions.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClare Somerville\u003c\/b\u003e received M.Eng and Ph.D degrees in Electronic Engineering in 1995 and 1999, respectively, from the University of Southampton. From 1995 to 1998 she performed research into low bit rate speech coders for wireless communications. Following a spell of research with the Global Wireless Systems Research department, Bell Laboratories, Swindon, U.K, she moved to PicoChip in Bath, UK. Her current research involves real-time services over wireless networks with a packet air interface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Woodard\u003c\/b\u003e received an MA in Physics from the University of Oxford in 1991, then an MSc in Electronics and a PhD in Speech Coding from the University of Southampton in 1992 and 1995 respectively. From 1995 to 1998 he worked as a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton, researching error correction coding, especially turbo codes. In 1998 he joined the Wireless Technology Practice at PA Consulting Group in Cambridge. At the start of 1999 he was transferred from PA to UbiNetics Ltd, where he is responsible for the development and implementation of bit rate processing algorithms, including turbo codes, for 3rd Generation mobile communications products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 October 2007\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-IEEE Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780470515815\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e880\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57.12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44380410085516,"sku":"9780470515815","price":242.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470515815_17ad43f9-d048-4622-a14f-78f2183effca.jpg?v=1780172963","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470515815","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
