An Introduction to Coding Theory
An Introduction to Coding Theory. Instructor: Dr. 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 linear block codes and convolutional codes, their encoding and decoding techniques as well as their applications in real world scenarios. Starting from simple repetition codes, we will discuss among other codes: Hamming codes, Reed Muller codes, low density parity check codes, and turbo codes. We will also study how from simple codes by concatenation we can build more powerful error correcting codes. (from nptel.ac.in)
| Lecture 33 - Applications of Linear Codes |
In this lecture we first give an historical timeline of progression of error control codes over the years. Then 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. Subsequently we describe some of the applications of linear block codes such as use of error detecting codes in ISBN numbers, European article number. Then we will briefly describe some of the applications of linear block codes in compact discs, satellite communications and wireless communications.
