World Academy of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol:4 2010-01-26 Mohammad Rakibul Islam Abstract—Link reliability and transmitted power are two importantdesign constraints in wireless network design. Error control coding(ECC) is a classic approach used to increase link reliability andto lower the required transmitted power. It provides coding gain,resulting in transmitter energy savings at the cost of added decoderpower consumption. But the choice of ECC is very critical in thec ...
