In this set of lecture notes, we provide an introduction to some nonasymptotic tools in information theory that are useful in the design of latency-constrained transmission systems in which short-information packets are exchanged. Compared to other available resources, the focus of these lecture notes is entirely on wireless communication channels. Although the notes are mostly self-contained, some knowledge of basic concepts in information theory such as channel capacity, and a familiarity with wireless communication channels is assumed. These notes have been used as teaching material for the course SSY210--Information Theory at Chalmers University of Technology.

This repository contains the .html code of the set of lecture notes and well as the matlab code used to generate all figures.
