Calculation of Error Structures in Binary Channels with Memory: BSC-M as an extension of the BSC Channel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783981953220)

Claus Wilhelm (Doctor of Technical Sciences) was born in Glaubitz in Saxony, Germany. He graduated in 1960 from the Engineering College in Mittweida with a degree in communications engineering. In 1970 Dr Wilhelm received a postgraduate degree in High Frequency Technology at the Technical University of Dresden followed by another engineering degree - in information transfer - in 1973. He received a lectureship in 1987 at the Friedrich Liszt School of Transportation in Dresden and obtained his doctorate in technical sciences in the field of information technology in 1989. Over a period of thirty years, from 1961 to 1990, Dr Wilhelm worked in the development and testing of new telecommunications technologies. One area of specialization was the mathematical description of the characteristics of telecommunication cables from measurement by approximation of the frequency-dependent quadrupole parameters. He initiated the development of a measuring device for error structures in digital binary channels and for many years conducted research on their description through channel models. As editor of the book Data Transmission (Berlin 1976), Claus Wilhelm was also author of several of the books chapters. In the field of telecommunication network planning, Dr Wilhelm specifically developed a calculation method for overflow systems, called the QBM source bundling method, used to optimize network routing.
