Registration open for all European University students!

Polar codes have been at the origin, a pure academic topic where, for the first time, codes were invented that could achieve Shannon capacity at a low coding/decoding complexity. Ten years after their discovery by Erdal Arikan, the 5th generation wireless systems (5G) standardization process of the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) chose polar codes as a channel coding scheme. I will tell you the story of polar codes from Arikan’s invention to its standardization in 5G, essentially due to Huawei.

Prof. Jean-Claude Belfiore graduated from Ecole Supérieure d'Electricité obtained the "Doctorat"  (PhD) from ENST and the "Habilitation à diriger des Recherches" (HdR) from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC. He has been with Télécom Paris where he became a full Professor in 2000. In 2015, he joined the Mathematical and Algorithmic Sciences Lab of Huawei as the head of the Communication Science Department. Jean-Claude Belfiore has made pioneering contributions on modulation and coding for wireless systems (especially space-time coding) by using tools of number theory. He is also one of the co-inventors of the celebrated Golden Code of the Wi-Max standard. Jean-Claude Belfiore is author or co-author of more than 200 technical papers and communications and has served as advisor for more than 30 Ph.D. students. He was Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory for Coding Theory and has been the recipient of the 2007 Blondel Medal.
