AIM:
To introduce the fundamental concepts of information theory: data compaction, data compression, data transmission, error detection and correction.

OBJECTIVES:
•    To have a complete understanding of error–control coding.
•    To understand encoding and decoding of digital data streams.
•    To introduce methods for the generation of these codes and their decoding techniques.
•    To have a detailed knowledge of compression and decompression techniques.
•    To introduce the concepts of multimedia communication.
