Channel Coding and BICM (LLRs)

This lecture covers the concepts of channel coding, BICM, and LLRs in wireless communication systems. It explains the need for channel coding to ensure reliable transmission, strategies to deal with transmission errors, and the performance advantages of soft-decision decoding. The instructor discusses the basic idea of channel coding, strategies for error detection and correction, and the importance of redundancy in transmitted data. The lecture also delves into the computation of LLRs for BPSK and QPSK, the impact of FEC, and the visualization of codes in signal space.
