Comprehensive introduction to non-binary error-correction coding techniques

"Non-Binary Error Control Coding for Wireless Communication and Data Storage" explores non-binary coding schemes that have been developed to provide an alternative to the Reed - Solomon codes, which are expected to become unsuitable for use in future data storage and communication devices as the demand for higher data rates increases. This book will look at the other significant non-binary coding schemes, including non-binary block and ring trellis-coded modulation (TCM) codes that perform well in fading conditions...
