Our Research

 

Research and teaching are based on the fundamental work on Information theory by Claude Shannon.

• bounds on the efficiency of transmission
• performance analyis of communication methods
• development of practical coding schemes for reliable transmission
• coding methods for efficient storage
• security analysis of communication concepts

We investigate different applications and analyse how close the practical results are to the theory

We developed and introduced the concepts of:

•   ML syndrome decoding for nonsystematic convolutional codes
•   reduced complexity stack decoding,
•   encoder state estimation

•   permutation codes in powerline communications
•   impulse noise mitigation for OFDM

•   integer codes for +/- t errors
•   optimum distance profile for block codes

•   codes for peak shift correction
•   convolutional coding for memories with defects
•   WOM codes and their capacity

•   random access for the OR channel
•   extension of the two-adder access channel
•   the switching channel

•   synchronization for burst communication
