Chair for Communications Theory

Since 2008 scientific members of the Chair for Communications Theory lecture and research in the following areas:

• Applied Information Theory
• Signal Processing for Communications and Networking
• Optimal Design of Communications Systems

Currently, the Chair for Communications Theory has 35 group members. 
Since 2008, the Chair has received more than 6.5 Mio. Euro third party funding, 9 PhD students successfully finished their studies, more than 100 journal and transactions paper (mainly IEEE) were published, more than 275 conference and workshop contributions (mostly IEEE conferences and workshops) appeared, 3 monographs and more than 10 book chapters were published. These works were cited more than 6800 times. 

Since 2014, the Chair for Communications Theory is responsible for the undergraduate module System Theory (signal and systems) in the third and fourth term, including the introduction into system theory. This core subject for the studies electrical engineering, information engineering and mechatronic motivates the fundamental studies by modern applications, online questionaires are performed, and comprehensive multi-media slidesets are offered. In 5-6 exercise groups examples and concepts are deepend. 

In the graduate studies, the Chair for Communications Theory is responsible for the mandatory class Information Theory, as well as the optional courses network coding theory, cooperative communications, network information theory, optimization of modern communications systems, and stochastic signals and systems.
