Error Control Coding. 3 credits

Catalog description

Introduction to error control coding techniques, which enable the detection and correction of errors that arise in the transmission and storage of digital data. Provides the necessary background in discrete mathematics, algebra, and number theory. Topics include classical linear block codes, convolutional codes, and modern sparse-graph codes; hardware and software implementation of encoders and decoders; and applications of error control coding to modern and emerging technologies, such as contemporary and proposed wireless networking standards, quantum communications, quantum computing, post-quantum cryptography, physically unclonable functions, and secure distributed storage media. Offered by Electrical & Comp. Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
