  This work provides an introduction to the more important techniques of error control coding. The subjects are covered through examples and demonstration of the principles in action. The author provides a broad treatment of coding in communications to explain potential benefits without the need for detailed understanding of specific coding schemes; discusses the encoding and decoding of Reed Solomon codes through frequency domain techniques, with examples of decoding for errors only and for errors and erasures; introduces the problems of communication in bandwidth-limited conditions; links the subjects of error detection performance with techniques based on error detection, particularly ARQ; and examines the way in which system constraints influence the choice of a coding scheme.
