This is an advanced course on coding theory, which is a sequel to EE621. We continue with more in-depth treatment of LDPC and turbo codes followed by some recent developments in coding theory including rateless codes and dirty paper coding. Topics covered are: codes on graphs, message-passing, irregular LDPC code ensembles, density evolution, concentration theorem, stability condition, thresholds, capacity-achieving sequences for BEC, EXIT chart, EXIT function and area theorem, multi-edge type LDPC codes, LDGM, rateless, LT, and Raptor codes, efficient encoding for LDPC codes, Code design in Euclidean space, coding and shaping gains, lattice strategies for coding, dirty paper coding.
