Scope
This course builds on the contents of Digicom1 and adds three new lab sessions covering the coding formats used in 3GPP and their corresponding receiver structures and decoding algorithms. The first part deals with receivers for bit-interleaved coded-modulation (BICM) for multi-layer transmission and a corresponding lab session on receivers for BICM with a single-layer. The second component provides an introduction to polar coding and decoding with a corresponding lab session on the 3GPP polar decoder for the physical downlink broadcast channel. The third component deals with low-density parity-check coding (LDPC) and includes a lab-session on the 3GPP LDPC decoder for the downlink shared channel (DLSCH).
