The definition and representations, distance  properties, and important classes of convolutional codes are also  discussed in detail. \u003cbr\u003e  The book provides the first comprehensive description of table-driven  correction and decoding of convolutionally encoded data. Complete  examples of Viterbi, sequential, and majority-logic decoding technique  are also included, allowing a quick comparison among the different  decoding approaches. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntroduction to Convolutional Codes with Applications\u003c\/em\u003e summarizes  the research of the last two decades on applications of convolutional  codes in hybrid ARQ protocols. A new classification allows a natural  way of studying the underlying concepts of hybrid schemes and  accommodates all of the new research. A novel application of fast  decodable invertible convolutional codes for lost packet recovery in  high speed networks is described. This opens the door for using  convolutional coding for error recovery in high speed networks. \u003cbr\u003e  Practicing communications, electronics, and networking engineers who  want to get a better grasp of the underlying concepts of convolutional  coding and its applications will greatly benefit by the simple and  concise style of explanation. An up-to-date bibliography of over 300  papers is included. Also suitable for use as a textbook or a reference  text in an advanced course on coding theory with emphasis on  convolutional codes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461361688\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2712-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 242\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398543732876,"sku":"9781461361688","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461361688.jpg?v=1771511179","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461361688","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
