I am indebted to Dr. Shenghui Song for preparing an excellent draft of Chapter 14, which was partly edited by Professor Ranjan Mallik, to whom I am much grateful. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Jiayi Chen for plotting most of figures in the book and providing solutions to many problems at the end of each chapter. I am also grateful to Professor Kai Niu for creating Figures 11.7–11.9, and providing useful suggestions on turbo codes. I am indebted to Dr. Kai Chen and Dr. Qian Wen for providing all the figures and solutions to many problems in Chapters 6 and 11. Thanks also go to Dr. Guangchi Zhang who created Figures 13.8 and 13.9 and drew all the block diagrams in Chapter 9. I appreciate Dr. Xiaowei Cui for correcting the derivation of one property of CAZAC sequences. I am also grateful to Professor Xiangming Li for sharing his vision on random codes and algebraic codes. Dr. Dai Lin carefully proofread Chapters 9 and 13 providing many useful feedbacks, for which I deeply appreciate. I am also grateful to Dr. Jiayi Chen, Professor Danpu Liu, and Dr. Jun Wang for their valuable helps in proofreading Chapters 6, 10 and 15, respectively.
