On completion of the course, the learners should be able to:

1. Equipped with good knowledge of the common basic error-correction codes;
2. Analyze the error correction codes used in digital communications and;
3. Design suitable error correction codes for performance improvements.
Error Correction Coding Techniques

Fundamental concepts of coding. Minimum distance considerations. Coding gain. Linear block codes. Cyclic codes and its implementation  considerations. Hamming codes. Extended Golay code, Bose, Chaudhuri and Hocquenghem Codes. Reed-Solomon codes. Convolutional codes.  and trellis diagrams. Hard and soft decision decodings. Viterbi and sequential algorithms. coding modulation techniques. Trellis coding.

For engineers who wish to upgrade their technical knowledge and skills in the area of  Infocom technologies, which can be used in the ICT industry to address technological challenges for  Smart Cities, Smart Nation, Future Communications and Internet of Things.
