Information Theory
A Short Introduction to Polar Coding

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.
