Objective
You are able to calculate the theoretical limits of data communication channels.
You manage the most important coding and modulation methods.
You are able to implement an error detection and correction method.
You know data compression and encryption methods.
You understand the function of blockchains.
Content
How to calculate the highest possible data transmission rate for a communication channel?
How to select a proper modulation method?
Why are data forward error correction methods used?
Are there any benefits or drawbacks in using data compression?
Evaluation
Students are able to
a. use professional vocabulary and concepts in an expert way in different situations.
b. evaluate information sources critically.
e. choose appropriate models, methods, software and techniques according to the purpose and justify these choices.
Course material
Online self-study material, online resources and laboratory exercises
Study forms and methods
The course is mainly completed by participating in teaching according to the schedule, whereby studies progress according to the group's schedule and at the pace of independent exercises. The theory of the topic is discussed and exercises are done together during face-to-face teaching hours. The student also has the opportunity to complete the course at an accelerated pace by studying independently and doing tasks at their own pace. The course can also be studied independently, for example, alongside work. It is advisable to discuss independent study with the responsible teacher at the start of the course. The course includes group activities.
RDI and work-related cooperation
The exercises carried out in the course are based on practical solutions in working life.
Timing of exams and assignments
During the course, scored exercises will be carried out at the end of each topic. All required tasks must be completed by the deadline set in the course schedule. Resits are arranged with the responsible teacher.
