Litteratur
The main course text is a compendium,
- Information Theory Engineering, by Stefan Höst
It can be found at KFS and costs 300 kr. The selected problems and solutions for the course exercises can be found by the lecture planning.
In the compendium there are two new chapters, Discrete input and Rate distortion, and one section, Convolutional codes, compared to last year's edition. There has also been an update of the text. KFS still have some copies left of the 2014 edition that they sell with some discount. It will work, but you need to download the new material separately when we get to them. It will be provided here.
