Iterative Error Correction: Turbo, Low-Density Parity-Check and Repeat-Accumulate Codes

This book covers a large amount of advanced material in only ~350 pages. This is done by almost entirely omitting introductory material. The author assumes that the reader is very well-versed in classical coding theory and goes directly into LDPC codes.This book favors written descriptions over dense equations and diagrams. Equations and diagrams may still be found, but they are not as prevalent as they are in most technical texts.This book covers a very broad topic in a small amount of text, so the content does not have much depth. The reference list is excellent, though, and it is well-cited throughout the book. My 4-star rating is because I would have liked a bit more detail. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the basics of modern channel codes, but if somebody wants a more detailed reference, I would recommend  Ryan and Lin

I really liked this book. It is a great source to learn the main ideas. For real depth the book by Ryan and Lin is good. This book is really readable and a great first source to get up to speed of how to. There are some typos. All in all a really useful book.

Clear exposition of the basic ideas of iterative correction

Great introduction, good examples and introduction from the author. She does a good job of giving practical meaning, through examples, to the theory behind the coding schemes discussed in the book.

Really the best book in iterative error correction. I have read several books in channel coding theory, and I aver this is the best book regarding iterative error correction codes. The concepts have been presented in a very simple way and the author have considered practical issues as well.
