Book Description
One of the dramatic developments in bandwidth-efficient communications over the past few years is the introduction and rapid applications of combined coding and bandwidth efficient modulation, known as coded modulation, for error control. Using coded modulation, reliable data transmission can be attained without compromising bandwidth efficiency. Presented here are the basic concepts of coded modulation. Two simple examples are used to demonstrate how significant coding gains can be achieved without bandwidth expansion. Lin, Shu Unspecified Center NAG5-931
