Channel Coding

What it is about

In this module you will learn modern principles of channel coding. You will understand mathematical foundations (e.g., finite fields) and various code classes (linear block codes, Reed–Solomon, BCH, convolutional codes, Reed–Muller, concatenated codes) as well as decoding algorithms, so that you can select, adapt and assess the error-correcting capability of coding schemes.

What you will be able to do

Understand the goal and principles of channel coding
Characterize different code classes
Apply finite field mathematics to linear codes
Select and parameterize suitable coding schemes
Derive decoding algorithms
Understand bounds on code sizes
Assess the error-correcting capability of given coding schemes
Derive new coding schemes from literature search
