Course Title:現代編碼技術 (Modern Coding Technology)

Instructor:韓永祥 (Yunghsiang S. Han)

Course goalTo teach students coding scheme using in communication applications

Final grademidterm project: 40%, final project: 40%, attendance rate: 20%

 

A set of lecture notes will be provided on my personal website. You may obtain the newest version of the lecture notes from http://ct.ee.ntust.edu.tw/welcome.html. The following is a list of recommended references:

1. Channel Coding for Telecommunications, Martin Bossert, John Wiley & Sons, 1999.

2. Turbo Codes — Principles and Applications, B. Vucetic and J. Yuan, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2000.

3. Error-Control Coding for Data Networks, I. S. Reed and X. Chen, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1999.

 

Students’final grades for this course are based on their performances in midterm project reports , final project reports on problems in the coding theory research area, and up to 30-minute oral presentations on their reports. Students will be asked to attend every lecture in order to learn the advance topics of decoding.
