BMBF Joint Project NewCom

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

The project aims 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 will be verified experimentally in a hardware demonstrator.

The Chair of Theoretical Information Technology will be collaborating 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.
