Turbo code applications: A journey from a paper to realization

Abstract

With the excellent performance compared to that of other existing codes, turbo code and its successors have been adopted into many communication systems and incorporated with various industrial standards. To celebrate another communication engineering milestone, leading experts present together with the contemporary applications of most modern systems. Turbo Code Applications provides a vast coverage of those applications starting from data storage systems through wire-line and wireless communications. That includes the utilization in digital video broadcasting, satellite communications, space exploring systems, and the implementation technologies. Turbo Code Applications is a rich source for scientists, engineers, and students who are searching for numerous aspects of turbo code applications which revolutionized the digital communications. © 2005 Springer.
