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
