The CRC Handbook of Finite Fields (hereafter referred to as the Handbook) is a reference
book for the theory and applications of finite fields. It is not intended to be an introductory …

Given an error-correcting code over strings of length n and an arbitrary input string also of
length n, the list decoding problem is that of finding all codewords within a specified …

A class of decoding algorithms that utilizes channel measurement information, in addition to
the conventional use of the algebraic properties of the code, is presented. The maximum …

This paper describes an iterative decoding algorithm for any product code built using linear
block codes. It is based on soft-input/soft-output decoders for decoding the component …

Presents a novel approach to soft decision decoding for binary linear block codes. The basic
idea is to achieve a desired error performance progressively in a number of stages. For each …

Building on the success of the first edition, which offered a practical introductory approach to
the techniques of error concealment, this book, now fully revised and updated, provides a …

Error-correction coding is being used on an almost routine basis in most new
communication systems. Not only is coding equipment being used to increase the energy …

We propose a cooperative motion and task planning scheme for multi-agent systems where
the agents have independently assigned local tasks, specified as linear temporal logic …

A polynomial-time soft-decision decoding algorithm for Reed-Solomon codes is developed.
This list-decoding algorithm is algebraic in nature and builds upon the interpolation …

Starting from Shannon's celebrated 1948 channel coding theorem, we trace the evolution of
channel coding from Hamming codes to capacity-approaching codes. We focus on the …
