The goal of the project is to develop information theory/coding theory for communication systems beyond the classic Shannon requirements to improve the efficiency of information transfer for specific applications. For this purpose, a holistic system concept for communication systems should be developed in which basic communication tasks combined with security, privacy protection and stealth requirements are realized by means of coding. In particular, the enormous efficiency gains of the new transmission methods compared to classic requirements of communication should be achieved. Selected tasks will be implemented in a demonstrator, and the performance gains achieved will be experimentally verified.
The successful candidates will use advanced information-theoretic and coding-theoretic tools to design new security and privacy schemes and derive fundamental performance bounds for such schemes applied to future communication models.
