BMBF Joint Project NewCom

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) was sponsoring a five-year joint project, "NewCom - Post Shannon Communication" (project number: 16KIS1003K).

The project aims was to develop a general communication systems theory that goes beyond Shannon's approach to communication in order to achieve a more efficient information transmission for selected applications. The performance gains were verified experimentally in a hardware demonstrator.

The Chair of Theoretical Information Technology has collaborated with partners from the Technical University of Munich and the Technical University of Berlin.

More information can be found on the project page of the BMBF homepage.

Runtime of the projekt: 01.06.2019 - 31.05.2024
