Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to
I) explain the benefit from applying error control coding (and determine this more exactly in given situations)
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
