Recent developments such as the invention of powerful
turbo-decoding and irregular designs, together with the increase in
the number of potential applications to multimedia signal
compression, have increased the importance of variable length
coding (VLC). Providing insights into the very latest research, the
authors examine the design of diverse near-capacity VLC codes in
the context of wireless telecommunications.



The book commences with an introduction to Information Theory,
followed by a discussion of Regular as well as Irregular Variable
Length Coding and their applications in joint source and channel
coding. Near-capacity designs are created using Extrinsic
Information Transfer (EXIT) chart analysis. The latest techniques
are discussed, outlining radical concepts such as Genetic Algorithm
(GA) aided construction of diverse VLC codes. The book concludes
with two chapters on VLC-based space-time transceivers as well as
on frequency-hopping assisted schemes, followed by suggestions for
future work on the topic.

* Surveys the historic evolution and development of VLCs

* Discusses the very latest research into VLC codes

* Introduces the novel concept of Irregular VLCs and their
application in joint-source and channel coding
