Post Shannon Theory

What it is about

You deal with communication models that go beyond the classical Shannon transmission scheme. You learn mathematical and conceptual methods for the analysis of such Post-Shannon scenarios and you can develop and apply coding theorems as well as strategies for special tasks (e.g., message identification).

What you will be able to do

• Apply mathematical methods for Post‑Shannon communication models
• Use conceptual methods for modeling non-classical communication tasks
• Analyze communication scenarios
• Develop and derive coding theorems
• Understand and apply special strategies for identification tasks

What the module consists of

• VorlesungExplanation of the mathematical and theoretical methods as well as proofs of fundamental coding theorems (blackboard lecture / projector presentation)
• ÜbungenIndependent and guided solving of exercises to apply the proof strategies and derive coding theorems

Teaching method

• Tafelvortrag / Beamervortragfor the systematic presentation and proof of the theoretical methods
• Übungsaufgaben unter Anleitung des Assistentenfor practical application and deepening of the proof and derivation strategies
