Error estimates for SUPG-stabilised Dynamical Low Rank Approximations

Fabio Nobile, Thomas Simon Spencer Trigo Trindade

We perform an error analysis of a fully discretised Streamline Upwind Petrov Galerkin Dynamical Low Rank (SUPG-DLR) method for random time-dependent advection-dominated problems. The time integration scheme has a splitting-like nature, allowing for potenti ...

Quantization for Decentralized Learning Under Subspace Constraints

Ali H. Sayed, Stefan Vlaski, Roula Nassif, Marco Carpentiero

In this article, we consider decentralized optimization problems where agents have individual cost functions to minimize subject to subspace constraints that require the minimizers across the network to lie in low-dimensional subspaces. This constrained fo ...

Mismatched Decoding Reliability Function at Zero Rate

Marco Bondaschi

We derive an upper bound on the reliability function of mismatched decoding for zero-rate codes. The bound is based on a result by Komlos that shows the existence of a subcode with certain symmetry properties. The bound is shown to coincide with the expurg ...

Dynamic SCL Decoder With Path-Flipping for 5G Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Yifei Shen, Chuan Zhang

Since polar were ratified as part of the 5G standard, low-complexity polar decoders with close-to-optimum error-rate performance have received significant attention. Compared to successive cancellation (SC) decoding, both SC list and SC flip decoding can i ...

List Ordered Statistics Decoders for Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Yifei Shen, Chuan Zhang

The de-facto standard decoding algorithm for polar codes, successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding, is a breadth-first search algorithm. By keeping a list of candidate codewords, SCL decoding improves the performance as the list size L increases. Howeve ...

On the Advantage of Coherent LoRa Detection in the Presence of Interference

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Orion Afisiadis, Joachim Tobias Tapparel, Sitian Li

It has been shown that the coherent detection of long range (LoRa) signals only provides marginal gains of around 0.7 dB on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. However, ALOHA-based massive Internet-of-Things systems, including LoRa, often ope ...
