More Bits for your Hertz! A Tutorial on Recent Advances in Channel Coding
Dr. Jossy Sayir, Telecommunications Research Center in Vienn, Austria
Short intro of the speaker:
     Dr. Jossy Sayir received his Dipl. El.-Ing. from the ETH Zurich in
1991. From 1991 to 1993, he worked as a development engineer for
Motorola Communications in Tel Aviv, Israel, working on the design
of the first digital mobile radio system developed by Motorola.
He returned to the ETH from 1993 to 1999, getting his PhD in 1999
under the supervision of Prof. J.L. Massey. The title of his thesis
was "On Coding by Probability Transformation". Since 2000, he has
been employed by the Telecommunications Research Center in Vienna
(ftw.) as a senior researcher. His research interests include
iterative decoding methods, joint source and channel coding and
the properties of Markov sources. He has been managing a strategic
project at ftw. since July 2002.
