Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book reviews a large variety of digital communications algorithms in the notation of factor graphs.
It is an ideal starting point for researchers who are entirely new to the field of digital communications and wish to gain a quick overview. Since all algorithms are consistently described in one framework, it avoids having to parse the confusing mix of notations occurring in the existing literature.
It also of great use for experts in digital communications, since the factor graph notation will give them new insights, and will allow them to appreciate surprising connections among the different algorithms. Moreover, the framework of factor graphs allows one to design new receiver algorithms in a disciplined manner.

Iterative processing is an important technique with numerous applications. Exploiting the power of factor graphs, this detailed survey provides a general framework for systematically developing iterative algorithms for digital receivers, and highlights connections between important algorithms. Starting with basic concepts in digital communications, progressively more complex ideas are presented and integrated resulting in the development of cutting-edge algorithms for iterative receivers. Real-world applications are covered in detail, including decoding for turbo and LDPC codes, and detection for multi-antenna and multi-user systems. This accessible framework will allow the reader to apply factor graphs to practical problems, leading to the design of new algorithms in applications beyond digital receivers. With many examples and algorithms in pseudo-code, this book is an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering and computer science, and for practitioners in the communications industry.
