Since 2019, I have been teaching information theory to our MSc students. The focus in this module is exclusively on error-correcting techniques for modern wireless communication systems. All slides can be accessed by clicking on the links below.

Parts 1 to 4: Introduction, Introduction to channel coding, Shannon’s theory, channel capacity and Shannon’s capacity theorem.

Part 5: Error-correcting codes.

Part 6: Practical error-correcting codes 1948 – 1993 – Block codes.

Part 6: Practical error-correcting codes 1948 – 1993 – Convolutional codes.

Part 7: Practical error-correcting codes 1993 – today – Turbo codes 1.

Part 7: Practical error-correcting codes 1993 – today – Turbo codes 2.

Part 7: Practical error-correcting codes 1993 – today – LDPC codes.
