The participants will learn the basic concepts of information theory and coding, including information, source coding, channel model, channel capacity, channel coding and so on. The main purpose of this course is to help students to complete the understanding of the wireless communication system with other advanced courses in wireless communication.
Since Shannon published his paper on information theory in 1948, the ideas from information theory have been applied to many areas such as wireless communication, video compression, bioinformatics, and others. The applications are endless; however, the beauty of fundamental mathematic theory is that it is the base to understand the diverse applications. This course focuses on information theory and coding within the context of modern digital communications applications. To let student better understand information theory, we will begin with a directed review of probability. Then we will introduce the basic concepts of information theory, source coding, channel and channel capacity, channel coding. Lossless data compression will be lightly touched in source coding. Channel and channel capacity will include discrete memoryless channel model, Markov processes and source with memory. Channel coding will focus on block error correction code such as hamming codes, BCH, Reed-Solomon coding and so on. Convolutional codes will also be covered in the channel coding. Finally, the typical applications of the error correction codes will be introduced.
