A Practical Guide to Error-Control Coding Using MATLAB by Yuan Jiang

This practical resource provides you with a comprehensive understanding of error control coding, an essential and widely applied area in modern digital communications. The goal of error control coding is to encode information in such a way that even if the channel (or storage medium) introduces errors, the receiver can correct the errors and recover the original transmitted information. This book includes the most useful modern and classic codes, including block, Reed Solomon, convolutional, turbo, and LDPC codes. Read More

Writing the book Understanding SIP Servlets 1.1 was really an easy decision for Kristoffer and I. We have both worked in SIP Servlet technology since the conception of the original SIP Servlet 1.0 specification in 2003 and have been engrossed in the technologies development since. We have seen major companies include the technology in their main product portfolios and also small, agile companies muscle their way into the game. When the Java Specification Request (JSR) 289 group was formed to create SIP Servlet 1.1 it brought together a great bunch of people to build onto an already successful technology. Whilst at one of the expert group meetings it became obvious that a book which would act as a companion to the specification was a really good idea. Not only would it serve as a great piece of complimentary text to help promote the technology but would also provide real world examples and code snippets to illustrate the technology being used. It's true to say that not all followers of technology are interested in reading through technical specifications. Its also true to say that the readers of core technical specifications like to see supplementary information and real world examples of the technology. Understanding SIP Servlets 1.1 provides reference material that appeals to a range of readers from the low level technical developer to the product marketer. Read More
