Course Format: Live Webinar, 8 sessions, one hour per session

Introduction:  Forward error correction is a vital process in communication systems. The last channel codes discovered in the research world are the “polar codes” which are adapted to be used in 5G standard. The construction and decoding of polar codes are quite different from the construction and decoding of classical channel nodes. Polar codes are the only codes constructed in a non-trivial manner. The discovery of polar codes can be considered as a breakthrough in coding society. It is clear that future channel codes will follow the logic of polar codes. For this reason, it is critical to learn the encoding and decoding philosophy of the polar codes which is the state of art of the coding world.
