Preface

Coding and decoding can be considered as a mapping and de-mapping between the elements of two sequence sets. For the two sequence sets A and B, mapping a symbol sequence belonging to set A to a symbol sequence in set B can be considered as coding and the reverse operation can be considered as decoding. The purpose of mapping depends on the aim of design. If the sequences in set A are shorter than the sequences in set B, such a mapping can be considered as data compression or source coding in short. If the aim of the mapping is to hide the information content of the sequences in set A, then this type of coding can be named as encryption. On the other hand, if the sequences in set B are longer compared to sequences in set A, and they are more robust to noisy transmissions, then such a mapping is named as channel coding. The purpose of channel coding is to transmit more information bits reliably through a communication channel using a fixed amount of energy in unit time. For this purpose, instead of transmitting information bit sequences directly, a mapping can be performed to longer information sequences, and such a mapping is done mathematically. Since as the length of the information sequence increases, the total number of data words, i.e., information sequences, b
