Description

Visit of Dr Cong Ling (Imperial)

Dr Cong Ling talk on "Algebraic Number Theory for Coding: From Fermat to Shannon to 5G". Abstract: "Algebraic number theory has emerged as a new foundation of modern coding theory, due to its connection with Euclidean lattices. In wireless communications, it is the key mathematic tool to construct powerful error-correction codes over mobile fading channels. This talk presents an overview of the constructions of codes from number fields for fading and MIMO (multi-input multi-output) channels, and introduces a novel framework to achieve the Shannon capacity of these channels. If time permits, a glimpse at the applications to multi-user communications in next-generation networks will be given."
