The Viterbi algorithm (VA) is a recursive optimal solution to the problem of estimating the
state sequence of a discrete-time finite-state Markov process observed in memoryless noise …

Principles of Mobile Communication, Fourth Edition, like its earlier editions, stresses
mathematical modeling of physical layer wireless communication systems. The basic …

Symbolic dynamics is a mature yet rapidly developing area of dynamical systems. It has
established strong connections with many areas, including linear algebra, graph theory …

A coding technique is described which improves error performance of synchronous data
links without sacrificing data rate or requiring more bandwidth. This is achieved by channel …

It is gratifying that this textbook is still sufficiently popular to warrant a third edition. I have
used the opportunity to improve and enlarge the book. When the second edition was …

This book is an evolution from my book A First Course in Information Theory published in
2002 when network coding was still at its infancy. The last few years have witnessed the …

Since the first edition of this book was published seven years ago, the field of modeling and
simulation of communication systems has grown and matured in many ways, and the use of …

The Handbook of Linear Algebra provides comprehensive coverage of linear algebra
concepts, applications, and computational software packages in an easy-to-use handbook …

This tutorial paper begins with an elementary presentation of the fundamental properties
and structure of convolutional codes and proceeds with the development of the maximum …

The need to transmit and store massive amounts of data reliably and without error is a vital
part of modern communications systems. Error-correcting codes play a fundamental role in …
