Course Title: Channel Coding (信道编码)

Instructor: Yunghsiang S. Han (韩永祥)

Course goal: To teach students the fundamental knowledge about channel coding.

A set of lecture notes will be provided on my website (https://i4ai.org/hanyunghsiang/coding26s.htm). The following are the recommended references:

1.     Error Control Coding, Second Edition, S. Lin and D. J. Costello, Jr., Prentice-Hall, Inc., 2004.

2.     Error Correction Coding: Mathematical Methods and Algorithms by Todd K. Moon, Wiley-Interscience, 2005.

Every student will be asked to submit a program about the Reed-Solomon decoder in order to get the credit.

 

Course outline:

1.        Introduction to binary linear block codes (6 lectures)

2.        Cyclic codes (4 lectures)

3.        Finite fields (3 lectures)

4.        Reed-Solomon (RS) codes (3 lectures)
