Subject: Channel coding techniques (17.EK551)

General information:

Category	Scientific-professional
Scientific or art field	Telecommunications and Signal Processing
ECTS	6

Getting acquainted with the ways channel codes are encoded and decoded

Ability to use the modern procedures for channel encoding and decoding

Trellis codes (binary and non-binary signals, signal constellations, lattices, Ungerboeck codes (TCM - Trellis Coded Modulation), set partitioning, turbo codes, practical realization of modern modems); Block codes (finite fields, minimal polynomials of elements of a finite field, circuits for manipulation of polynomials, linear channel block codes, cyclic (CRC) codes, BCH and RS codes and their decoding, LDPC codes, overview of applications of channel codes

The lectures are continuously followed by synchronized oral and computer exercises. Oral exercises contain practical problem solving sessions principally related to encoding techniques. In the computer lab students obtain practical experience with algorithms used in channel coding. Through the teaching process, students are constantly motivated to an intensive discussion, problem oriented reasoning, independent study work and active participation in the whole lecturing process. The prerequisite to enter the final exam is to complete the pre-exam assignments by earning at least 10 points.
