This course introduces the theory of error control coding for digital
transmission in communications. Topics include groups, fields, GF(2), linear
block codes, cyclic codes, BCH codes, Reed-Solomon codes, convolutional
codes, maximum likelihood decoding of convolutional codes, Viterbi
algorithm, sequential decoding of convolutional codes, continuous phase
modulation codes, trellis coded modulation, and turbo codes.
