Non-Binary Error Control Coding for Wireless Communication and Data Storage

Professor Rolando A. Carrasco, Newcastle, UK has carried out research and given lectures in the area of channel coding, signal processing and mobile communication for over 20 years. He has published over 200 papers, and much of his research relates to the design and construction of non-binary coding schemes for wireless communications, in particular Ring-TCM codes, Reed-Solomon codes and Algebraic-Geometric codes.

Dr. Martin Johnston, Newcastle, UK is a Research Associate at the University of Newcastle and is working on the construction of algebraic-geometric codes and LDPC codes suitable for future data storage devices.
