Andrew Viterbi simply wanted to fill in the blanks in several theories when he developed the Viterbi Algorithm. Little did he anticipate its widespread applicability in error-correcting codes in 2 ...

The Viterbi Algorithm, the elegant 41-year-old logical tool for rapidly eliminating dead end possibilities in data transmission, has a new application to go alongside its ubiquitous daily use in cell ...

Clearly, wireless LAN (WLAN) systems are a hot topic in the design community. With 802.11b taking off, and 802.11g and 802.11a coming quickly, much attention has been placed on building WLAN access ...

Communication-system designers have always had to deal with trade-offs among data reliability, efficient use of available spectrum, data throughput, and cost. Error-correction coding (ECC) is one of ...
