S-72.4110 Postgraduate Course in Communications Engineering (10cr) P V, spring 2006
The theme of this seminar course is state-of-the-art
iterative coding. Other terms describing
the same area are probabilistic coding and
coding on graphs.
Iterative coding has had a strong impact on the development
of coding theory and practice during the last decade.
A book manuscript by Richardson and Urbanke (which can be
downloaded electronically) forms the core of this course.
The seminar language is English. Each week there are
two 45-minute presentations, and each student should
give three presentations in total. Moreover, the students
are given weekly home assignments, based on which the mark
of the course will be given. The students should take part
in at least two thirds of the seminars.
- Prerequisites: Basic studies in telecommunications
(master's students in their final year are very welcome).
The course
S-72.3410 Coding Methods is strongly recommended; it
can be taken along this course and can also be included in the
postgraduate studies.
