Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation (PDF)

Presenting a thorough overview of bit-interleaved coded
modulation (BICM), this book introduces the tools for the analysis
and design of BICM transceivers. It explains in details the
functioning principles of BICM and proposes a refined probabilistic
modeling of the reliability metrics-the so-called
L-values-which are at the core of the BICM receivers.
Alternatives for transceiver design based on these models are then
studied.

Providing new insights into the analysis of BICM, this book is
unique in its approach, providing a general framework for analysis
and design, focusing on communication theoretic aspects of BICM
transceivers. It adopts a tutorial approach, explains the problems
in simple terms with the aid of multiple examples and case studies,
and provides solutions using accessible mathematical tools.

The book will be an excellent resource for researchers in
academia and industry: graduate students, academics, development
engineers, and R & D managers.
