Information and Coding Theory
Goals
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.
Programme
- From signal to information and vice-versa

Activity contextualised through environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility and/or supported by examples, exercises, applications.
Programme elements related to sustainable development goals
Information theory contributes to a number of sustainable development objectives. Source coding (information compression) is at the heart of storage space and cost issues. Channel coding leads to a reduction in the energy consumed by our communications.
