Objectives

By participating in the module events, the student gains knowledge of current scientific developments in the field of digital communication technology.
The student is then able to independently work on a task from a current subject area of communications technology in a scientific manner and to prepare a written thesis. In addition, the student can present the knowledge he has developed in front of an expert audience.

Description

Various current topics from the areas of digital communication technology (e.g. source, channel and network coding, optical transmission technology, information theory) are selected for the seminar, which the students work on independently.

Each student summarizes the results of his or her work in writing and gives a scientific lecture, which is followed by a scientific discussion.

Prerequisites

The following modules should be successfully completed before participation:
- Lectures on digital communications
- Depending on the topic, relevant specialist lectures, if applicable

Teaching and learning methods

Each student is assigned a research assistant as a supervisor, who instructs them in researching and reading scientific specialist literature and guides them in writing the seminar paper. An introductory event conveys the basics of scientific lectures or presentations.

Each participant works on an individual technical task. This takes place in particular in independent individual work by the student.

Examination

Module examination with the following components:
- Understanding the scientific topic: Content of paper and presentation (30%).
- Written paper (structure, formatting, clearness, originality, etc.) (30%).
- Presentation of the topic (structure, slides, effectiveness, clarity, etc.) and moderation/discussion (40%).
