Joint Antenna-Channel Modelling for in-to-out-Body Propagation of Dairy Cows at 868 MHz

In this paper, for the first time, the in-to-out-body path loss between a capsule antenna placed inside the cows' rumen and a distant gateway was characterized at 868 MHz. Measurements were conducted on five different fistulated cows in a dairy barn. The i ...

From LDPC Block to LDPC Convolutional Codes: Capacity, Stability, and Universality

Wei Liu

In his landmark paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," the founding father of information theory and coding theory, Claude E. Shannon, established the largest rate at which reliable communication is possible and he revealed that the key to this re ...

Reed-Muller codes polarize

Emmanuel Abbé, Min Ye

Reed-Muller (RM) codes were introduced in 1954 and have long been conjectured to achieve Shannon's capacity on symmetric channels. The activity on this conjecture has recently been revived with the emergence of polar codes. RM codes and polar codes are gen ...

Compute–Forward Multiple Access (CFMA): Practical Implementations

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Sung Hoon Lim, Jingge Zhu, Erixhen Sula, Adriano Pastore

We present a practical strategy that aims to attain rate points on the dominant face of the multiple access channel capacity using a standard low complexity decoder. This technique is built upon recent theoretical developments of Zhu and Gastpar on compute ...

Displacement Convexity in Spatially Coupled Scalar Recursions

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Rafah El-Khatib

We introduce a technique for the analysis of general spatially coupled systems that are governed by scalar recursions. Such systems can be expressed in variational form in terms of a potential function. We show, under mild conditions, that the potential fu ...

Universal Sparse Superposition Codes With Spatial Coupling and GAMP Decoding

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Mohamad Baker Dia

Sparse superposition codes, or sparse regression codes, constitute a new class of codes, which was first introduced for communication over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. It has been shown that such codes are capacity-achieving over the A ...

LDPC Coded Multiuser Shaping for the Gaussian Multiple Access Channel

Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

The joint design of input constellation and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes to approach the symmetric capacity of the two-user Gaussian multiple access channel is studied. More specifically, multilevel coding is employed at each user to construct a h ...

Improved decoding of second-order Reed-Muller codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Kirill Ivanov

In this paper, we consider low-complexity decoding of second-order Reed-Muller codes. A class of polynomial-time algorithms, based on the projections onto first-order codes, is studied. An old representative of this class, originally developed for binary s ...

Bits through Time

Elie Najm

In any communication system, there exist two dimensions through which the information at the source becomes distorted before reaching the destination: the noisy channel and time. Messages transmitted through a noisy channel are susceptible to modification ...

Permutation-based Decoding of Reed-Muller Codes in Binary Erasure Channel

Rüdiger Urbanke, Kirill Ivanov

In this paper, we consider the problem of decoding Reed-Muller (RM) codes in binary erasure channel. We propose a novel algorithm, which exploits several techniques, such as list recursive (successive cancellation) decoding based on Plotkin decomposition, ...
