3 hours

Explores the elements of information theory that form the foundation for coding in communication systems, the basic concepts of entropy, and ideas in source coding, channel coding, and channel capacity. Includes data compression (optimal codes), channel capacity (channel coding theorems), rate distortion theory (rate distortion functions for different sources), and network information theory (single user, broadcast, relay, and multiple access channels, and encoding of correlated sources).
