28 April 2015
News
If there is something to be announce, it will be published here...
Course Abstract
One of the recent big break-through in the field of information
theory is the discovery of the first provably capacity-achieving
coding scheme that has decent encoding and decoding complexity:
polar coding by Erdal Arikan from 2007. This short course will
try to give a short introduction to polar coding and its main
ideas. The course is thought for students who have a rough idea
of information theory. As a course notes Chapter 12 from
"Information Theory (Lecture Notes)" will be used.
