Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation

<p>Presenting a thorough overview of bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM), this book introduces the tools for the analysis and design of BICM transceivers. It explains in details the functioning principles of BICM and proposes a refined probabilistic modeling of the reliability metrics–the so-called L-values–which are at the core of the BICM receivers.  Alternatives for transceiver design based on these models are then studied.</p> <p>Providing new insights into the analysis of BICM, this book is unique in its approach, providing a general framework for analysis and design, focusing on communication theoretic aspects of BICM transceivers. It adopts a tutorial approach, explains the problems in simple terms with the aid of multiple examples and case studies, and provides solutions using accessible mathematical tools.</p> <p>The book will be an excellent resource for researchers in academia and industry: graduate students, academics, development engineers, and R & D managers.</p> <p><strong style=”mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;”>Key Features:</strong></p> <ul style=”list-style-type: disc; direction: ltr;”> <li style=”color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;”> <p>Presents an introduction to BICM, placing it in the context of other coded modulation schemes</p> </li> <li style=”color: #000000; font-family: ‘Calibri’,’sans-serif’; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;”> <p>Offers explanations of the functioning principles and design alternatives</p> </li> <li style=”color: #000000; font-family: ‘Calibri’,’sans-serif’; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;”> <p>Provides a unique approach, focusing on communication theory aspects</p> </li> <li style=”color: #000000; font-family: ‘Calibri’,’sans-serif’; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;”> <p>Shows examples and case studies to illustrate analysis and design of BICM</p> </li> <li style=”color: #000000; font-family: ‘Calibri’,’sans-serif’; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;”> <p>Adopts a tutorial approach, explaining the problems in simple terms and presenting solutions using accessible mathematical tools</p> </li> </ul>
