II) apply basic concepts of coding theory (including related algebra)
III) differentiate between block coding and convolutional coding
IV) classify and describe the most important families of codes (in particular, state-of-the-art error-correcting codes)
V) apply a proper decoding scheme to a chosen coding method

Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020): 

Error-detecting and error-correcting codes for digital communication and storage. The theory of the most important code classes, including an introduction to turbo and LDPC codes. Coding/decoding algorithms. Applications.
