Course goalTo teach students coding scheme used 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:

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.
