Aim:
After completed course the student should be able to:
- define correctly and explain about the following notions: Hamming distance, linear error-correcting code, LDPC code, â?oTurbo" code, optimal decoding, iterative decoding, decoding region, channel capacity, density evolution, Monte Carlo simulations, marginalization, neural network;
- passably implement decoding algorithms for modern channel codes as well as plot and analyze performance of those;
- fairly well handle necessary mathematical tools: random variables variables, Bayesian inference, Monte Carlo methods, neural networks;
- independently use advanced channel coding techniques in practical applications;
- implement K-means clustering algorithms for sets of data points

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Linear algebra, Probability theory, Statistics and basic programming skills. Knowledge in algorithms, data structures and communication systems is desirable but not a requirement.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Organisation:
Teaching is organized in lectures, exercises and laboratory work. The laboratory work consists of programming tasks connected to the theory presented during the lectures. The programming can be carried out in R, C++, Python, Matlab or similar programming language.
