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)

Lecture 16 - Application of Convolutional Codes

In this lecture we briefly describe some of the applications of convolutional and turbo codes in practice. Specifically we discuss applications for deep space communications, modems and wireless communications.
