Coding and Quantization

Download or read book Coding and Quantization written by Robert Calderbank, G. David Forney, Jr., and Nader Moayeri and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the proceedings of the DIMACS/IEEE workshop on coding and quantization. The theme of the workshop was the application of discrete mathematics to reliable data transmission and source compression. These applications will become more significant in the coming years, with the advent of high capacity cellular networks, personal communications devices, and the ``wireless office''. The articles are written by experts from industry and from academia. Requiring only a background in basic undergraduate mathematics, this book appeals to mathematicians interested in multidimensional Euclidean geometry (especially lattice theory), as well as to engineers interested in bandwidth efficient communication or vector quantization.
