Description
The course addresses modern channel codes based on iterative decoding algorithms, such as turbo and low-density parity-check codes.
The course content is organized as follows:
1. Basics of soft-input soft-output decoding for binary linear block and convolutional codes
2. Block turbo codes (product codes)
3. Parallel concatenated convolutional codes (turbo codes)
4. Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes
5. EXIT charts and weight distributions for turbo and LDPC ensembles
5. Polar codes
