Classic November 8, 2008
Very nice explanation, with lots of examples. This is a marked difference from other books that are written for mathematicians. The book also contains implementation details (lots of circuit diagrams), hence is suited for those with a background in CS/EE. Will be good if the book came with lab notes!
Very cheap textbook compare with its detail principle September 1, 2008
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!
Amazing book July 13, 2007

I have the first version of this book. Now I am so glad to have the second version too. It has great improvement. It added quite lot of recent FEC tech in, including Turbo coding, LDPC coding. Besides, it is quite easy for a engineer to understand, not awkward as some math equation filled textbooks. Its block diagram can be easily understood by an engineer like me. Amazing book!
Both clear and complete May 15, 2007
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.
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
