Welcome to the 2015 Munich Workshop on Coding and Modulation (MCM 2015)!
On July 30-31, 2015, the TUM Institute for Communications Engineering (LNT) is organizing a 2015 Munich Workshop on Coding and Modulation (MCM 2015).
The mission of the MCM 2015 is to bring together researchers from the fields of code design, digital communication, and information theory for in-depth discussions on how to achieve high rate and reliable communication over noisy channels. The workshop consists of invited technical talks, coffee breaks for discussions, and a social program to network and to enjoy summertime in Munich. The workshop will be held at the Institute for Communications Engineering, Technische Universität München.
We look forward to seeing you in Munich!

Directions
- Metro map Munich.
- Airport to Hotel Königswache: use S8 to Herrsching. Get off at Hauptbahnhof and take the U2 to Feldmoching. Get off at Theresienstraße and walk to Hotel Königswache. We recommend the Airport-City-Day-Ticket since it allows you to use the public transport in Munich during the whole day.
- You can also walk from Hauptbahnhof to Hotel Königswache.
- Walk from Hotel Königswache to the LNT.
- At the LNT, take the elevator or stairs to the 2nd floor. The talks will be given in the seminar room N2408.
Registration
The technical sessions are open to all who are registered. Please register by sending an Email to mcm2015(at)lnt.ei.tum.de until latest July 15. We have a limited number of slots for the lunches. We will assign these slots on a first-come first-served basis. Please send an Email to mcm2015(at)lnt.ei.tum.de, and please state which events (sessions / lunch Thursday / lunch Friday / beer garden) you would like to join.
