Forward Error-Correcting Codes with MATLAB Applications and Their Use for Comunication Systems (12 hours of instruction!) Web-based Course with live Instructor!
Times & Dates: 10 AM - 11:30 AM ET, June 15, 17, 22, 24, 29, July 1, 13, 15 Speaker: Orhan Gazi, Cankaya University, Ankara-Turkey Course Format: Live Webinar, 8, 90 minute sessions
Introduction: Communication systems employ channel codes for the correction of errors occurring during transmission. Channel codes are used in almost every data communication and storage devices. For instance, channel codes are used in mobile phones, network elements, satellites, flash memories, RAMs etc. Any engineer working in the communication industry should have an idea about the error correcting codes. In this course, an introductory information will be provided about forward error correcting codes. Those who takes this course will get an idea about the construction of channel codes, how error correction is achieved, and some of simple preliminary channel codes used for error correction. We will also provide some applications of channel codes using MATLAB environment. We will teach how to perform computer simulations to measure the performance of communication systems and see the effect of channel codes on the performance of communication systems. Prerequisite: The one who is interested in taking this course should have basic knowledge of linear algebra Outline . • Introduction to Forward Error Correction and Channel Codes • Review of Linear Algebra, Groups, Fields, and Vector Spaces
