ECE 559 RB

Lectures and discussion related to advanced topics and new areas of interest in the theory of communication systems: information theory, coding theory, and communication network theory. Course Information: May be repeated in the same term, if topics vary, to a maximum of 12 graduate hours; may be repeated in separate terms, if topics vary, to a maximum of 16 graduate hours. Credit toward a degree from multiple offerings of this course is not given if those offerings have significant overlap, as determined by the ECE department. Prerequisite: As specified each term. (It is expected that each offering will have a 500-level course as a prerequisite or co-requisite.)

Topic: Information Theory II. Prerequisities: Algebra and number theory or consent of an instructor. Lectures and discussion related to advanced topics and new areas of interest in the theory of communication systems: information theory, coding theory, and communication network theory.

The course material will include a number of modern topics in coding theory, including codes on graphs, spatially-coupled codes, polar codes, codes for flash memories, network coding and codes for distributed storage.
