This course introduces the principles and applications of information theory. It attempts to explain how information is measured in terms of probability and entropy, and the relationships among conditional and joint entropies; how these are used to calculate the capacity of a communication channel, with and without noise; coding schemes, including error correcting codes using block and convolution codes. Furthermore, the course explains elements of signal randomness, autocorrelation functions and power and cross-power spectral densities; and how signal processing or information can be optimized.

The course is one of the core courses of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. The aim of this course is to present the basic principles that emphasize the analysis and design of digital communication systems. Principle of digital communication involves the transmission of information in digital form from the source of the information to single or multiple destination(s). The block that connects the source of information and the destination is the channel. The physical communication channels have different characteristics that influence the performance of the system. The characteristics of the channel generally affect analysis and design of the basic building blocks of the communication systems. This course is intended for students majoring in electrical and electronics engineering and related engineering disciplines. It can assist graduate students and practising engineers who wish to improve their knowledge on digital communication systems. The course is to introduce students to basic components of digital communication systems so that they will be able to analyse and design an optimal system under any given constrain. Topics to be covered include Digital signals and characters. Serial and parallel data transmission systems; The ISO-OSI layered architecture, packet switching and circuit switching, error detection and recovery (ARQ) protocols, bridges and routers, basic queuing theory, telephone switches, Erlang-B and Erlang-C blocking formulae, TCP/IP, X.25, signaling (Signaling System 7), Personal Communication Services (PCS) networks, Broadband Networks. Modulated carrier signals: Binary modulation (ASK, PSK, FSK), Spread Spectrum.

It has been observed that unreliability of various systems in engineering is due to lack of the required skill and poor maintenance culture. This course is intended for students majoring in electrical and electronics engineering and related engineering disciplines. It can assist graduate students and practicing engineers who wish to improve their knowledge on reliability and maintainability of engineering systems.
