Overview
-
Information Theory answers two fundamental questions: what is the maximum data rate at which we can transmit over a communication link, and what is the fundamental limit of data compression. In this course we will explore answers to these two questions. We will study some practice source compression algorithms. We will also study how to compute channel capacity of simple channels.Intended Audience : 3rd/4th year UG students in EC stream, 1st year PG students in communications and signal processing specializationPrerequisites : Basic knowledge of probability theory and digital communicationsIndustries Support : Communication companies, defense laboratories
