Prerequisites: EE 225 or consent of instructor
Description: Explores combinatorial and algorithmic techniques in coding theory. Covers algebraic design of Bose-Chaudhuri- Hocquenghem (BCH) codes and Reed-Muller codes. Algorithmic topics include gradient-like decoding, split-syndrome techniques, and information-set decoding. Introduces decoding with polynomial complexity based on Bayesian estimation, iterative decoding, and codes on graphs. May be taken Satisfactory (S) or No Credit (NC) with consent of instructor and graduate advisor. Electrical Engineering 252 / Programs and Courses
