Excellent applications-based approach to Error Correction October 5, 1998
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Lin and Costello produced an excellent text which is targeted towards engineers as opposed to mathematicians. The mathematics behind error correction can be extremely intensive and, with other texts, I quickly become lost in complex proofs. Lin and Costello present error correction in method, with plenty of good examples, which those who need to know how to apply it can understand and the gory details of the theory are not as important. I used this book as my introduction to error correction and it continues to be a great reference book. The only drawback in it is since it was published in '82, it stops at convolutional coding and does not cover trellis-coded modulation or turbo codes.
Foremost book in the field October 18, 2004

I had the previous version of this book as my text at USC. This version is a huge improvement over the last one. This one covers all the new advances and adds emphasis on the use of coding to communications channels. A complaint I had of the last version was that it under-emphasized coding gains and Eb/N0 vs. BER performance figures. This book has overcome many of those difficulties. It is still a bit ponderous in places but then it is the only book that covers the material in this much detail, truly a Bible of the field. It is a great graduate level text and a must-have book for any comm engineer. Charan Langton complextoreal.com
very useful for both beginners and experts June 12, 1999

a very detailed book for getting into Galois field arithmetics, cyclic codes, convolutional codes, ... As a very beginner I had no big problems understanding the content. I am not the type of guy who could understand just by reading the theory - this book gives a lot of very useful examples, so you could call it fun reading it!
Both clear and complete May 15, 2007
multipath (Austin, TX)
Not only does this book contain almost all the important information about coding you could hope for, but it's written in such a clear way with such a consistent notation that it's also wonderful for learning. This book is more than twice as long as the first edition and serves as a great graduate-level text or reference for someone designing ECC systems.
Very cheap textbook compare with its detail principle September 1, 2008
Kittipong Trijpech (Nonthaburi , Thailand)
Eventhough, my field of research is not concentrate on coding. But in the future, I may start research in this field. This book is the basic of all necessary principle of coding in wire or wireless communication. This book can be used in parallel with textbook of Prof. Parhi in order for you to design VLSI signal processing block with code modulation or something like that which is very useful in improving the performance of wireless network!
