 OBJECTIVES:
 The student should be made to:

•  Understand error–control coding.
•  Understand encoding and decoding of digital data streams.
•  Be familiar with the methods for the generation of these codes and their decoding techniques.
•  Be aware of compression and decompression techniques.
•  Learn the concepts of multimedia communication.
