Foreword

For many years, experts more expert than the rest have regularly heralded the end of research focused on the physical layer of telecommunications. Some claim that the best has already been delivered from the promises offered by the theory of communication, others say that the theoretical limits predicted will never be reached by simple means. As Costello and Forney explained in an award winning IEEE article [1], this pessimistic standpoint is nothing new and some were already proclaiming “Coding is dead” in the early 1970s, only 20 years after the pioneering work of Claude Shannon. Other experts, this time in the field of microelectronics, have also r
