Information Theory II Spring 2015
⇒ to time table and download of class material
Aim
This course builds on Information Theory I. It introduces additional topics in single-user communication, connections between Information Theory and Statistics, and Network Information Theory.
The course has two objectives: to introduce the students to the key information theoretic results that underlie the design of communication systems and to equip the students with the tools that are needed to conduct research in Information Theory.
Contents
- Method of Types, strong typicality
- Large deviation theory
- Rate distortion theory
- The multiple description problem
- Rate distortion with side-information: Wyner-Ziv
- Distributed lossless data compression: Slepian-Wolf
- The multiple-access channel (MAC)
- The broadcast channel (BC)
- Channels with noncausal side-information: Gelfand-Pinsker
- Discrete memoryess networks, cut-set bound
- The interference channel
Prerequisites
- Undergraduate studies
- Solid foundation in probability and calculus
- Pleasure with mathematics
- Information Theory I
