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 09 - Distance Properties of Linear Block Codes II |
In this lecture, we will first describe what is meant by weight distribution of a code. Then, we will show how random error correcting and error detecting properties of linear block code is dependent on the minimum distance of a code. We will also describe how to compute the undetected error probability for linear block code transmission over binary symmetric channel.
