Abstract

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. ...
