Information and Coding Theory

The development of communication and information processing systems is based on an ever-increasing appropriation of advanced signal processing methods derived from information theory. The aim of this advanced course is to complement the signal processing course taught in the first year by introducing the essential elements of information theory. It enables engineering students to discover a definition of the concept of information and to acquire a set of advanced tools for its modelling, coding and transmission through a communication channel.

1- From signal to information and vice-versa 2- Elements of information theory 3- Sources: model, entropy and coding 4- Channel: model, capacity and coding
