An Introduction to Distributed Channel Coding
Book chapter, 2014
This chapter provides an introductory survey on distributed channel coding techniques for relay networks. The main focus is on decode-and-forward relaying for the basic three-node relay channel. We show how linear block code structures can be deduced from fundamental information theoretic communication strategies. Code design and optimization are discussed taking low-density parity-check block codes and spatially coupled LDPC codes as particular examples. We also provide an overview on distributed codes that are based on convolutional codes and turbo-like codes, and discuss extensions to multi-source cooperative relay networks.
