Error Control Coding: An Introduction to Convolutional Codes
Error Control Coding: An Introduction to Convolutional Codes. Instructor: Prof. Adrish Banerjee, Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Kanpur. Error control coding is an indispensable part of any digital communication system. In this introductory course, we will discuss theory of convolutional codes, their encoding and decoding techniques as well as their applications in real world scenarios. We will also study how from simple codes by concatenation we can build more powerful error correcting codes. In particular, we will study in details, one such capacity approaching codes called turbo codes. (from nptel.ac.in)

In this lecture, we will describe various blocks of digital communication systems and will show where error correcting codes fit in. We will also define terms such as bit error rate (BER) and frame error rate (FER) use to measure the performance of channel decoder.
