Course Objective

The objective of this course is to introduce the students the basics of information theory, effective source information representation and source coding, the concept of error correcting codes and the necessity of channel coding. In this context, encoding and decoding techniques of linear block codes and convolutional codes will be presented. By the end of this course the students will have the vision about information theory and coding and be prepared for a graduate level of similar courses.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to represent the data generated by a discrete source efficiently
2   To be able to define and use some data compression techniques
3   To be able to know the problems ocur in the transmission channel
4   To be able to get rid of the problem by using error correcting codes
5   To be able to improve the existing error correcting codes
