After completing the lecture, the students will know the building blocks of complex communications networks, i.e., the multiple-access channel, the broadcast channel, the relay channel and the interference channel, their achievable rates and capacity regions including coding and decoding schemes. In addition, the students obtain knowledge to design future wireless and multi-hop as well as ad-hoc networks. They master information-theoretic and mathematical tools to prove coding theorems. They know the state of the art as well as open problems in network information theory.
•Review point-to-point channel capacity and coding theorem
