Tutorials
The following tutorials will be held in parallel on Wednesday, 20 September 2006.
Full day tutorial, Room 0.3
"Information Theory for Relaying and Cooperation"
Lecturer:
Dr. Gerhard Kramer, Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, New Jersey, USA
Abstract:
This short course will develop basic coding theorems for relay and cooperative communication. The course is divided into four parts: Part 1 reviews fundamental information theory; Part 2 develops capacity-cost theory for point-to-point channels; Part 3 derives capacity results for relay channels; Part 4 develops theory for cooperative multiaccess. The goal of the course is to give the participants an appreciation of the usefulness of information theory in forming intuition and in guiding code design for relay and cooperative communication. Participation in the form of questions is desired.
Biography:
