6.02 Introduction to EECS via Communication Networks

()
Prereq: 6.0001
Units: 4-4-4
Lecture: MW2 (4-370) Recitation: TR10 (34-304) or TR11 (34-304) or TR1 (34-304) or TR2 (34-301) +final

Studies key concepts, systems, and algorithms to reliably communicate data in settings ranging from the cellular phone network and the Internet to deep space. Weekly laboratory experiments explore these areas in depth. Topics presented in three modules - bits, signals, and packets - spanning the multiple layers of a communication system. Bits module includes information, entropy, data compression algorithms, and error correction with block and convolutional codes. Signals module includes modeling physical channels and noise, signal design, filtering and detection, modulation, and frequency-division multiplexing. Packets module includes switching and queuing principles, media access control, routing protocols, and data transport protocols.
