Coding Theory

Course Purpose
The goal of this course is to understand the limit and possibility of channel coding under noisy channels, and study explicit construction of coding schemes that allows practical and computationally efficient encoding and decoding algorithms.
Learning Goals
Students should acquire knowledge on the limit and possibility of channel coding, and understand the principles of encoding and decoding, and their properties of the various error correcting codes including the Hamming code, Reed-Muller code, convolutional codes, turbo codes, LDPC codes, and polar codes.
