Short Course on Coding for Wireless Channels Now Available in Streaming Video
San Diego, CA, September 23, 2006 -- In 2005 he wrote “Coding for Wireless Channels” (Springer Verlag), and last week, Ezio Biglieri brought his expertise to Calit2 at UCSD, for a short course by the same name.
Biglieri was invited to give the course by Calit2’s Information Theory and Applications (ITA) Center. He is a professor at Barcelona ’s Universitat Pompeu Fabra. During the nine-hour course spread over two days, Biglieri addressed topics including fading channel models (independent fading, block fading, MIMO); information-theoretic performance limits; coding on signal spaces; optimization criteria for code design; factor-graphical models of codes (including block, convolutional, turbo, LDPC, and concatenated codes); trellis-coded modulation and bit-interleaved modulation; iterative ("turbo") receivers for coded signals: memoryless, intersymbol-interference, MIMO, and multiuser channels; and EXIT-chart analyses of performance.
The course's five sessions are now archived and available for on-demand viewing. To view the streaming videos, click on the image or video link below [Real player and broadband connection required].

The Italian-born Biglieri earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 1967, where he went on teach until joining the University of Naples in 1975. Two years later he returned to Turin, and later spent two years on the electrical engineering faculty of UCLA from 1987-’89.
