This new edition has been extensively revised to reflect the progress in error control coding over the past few years. Over 60% of the material has been completely reworked, and 30% of the material is original.

• Convolutional, turbo, and low density parity-check (LDPC) coding and polar codes in a unified framework
• Advanced research-related developments such as spatial coupling
• A focus on algorithmic and implementation aspects of error control coding
