The emerging massive/large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (LS-MIMO) systems that
rely on very large antenna arrays have become a hot topic of wireless communications …

Providing an all-encompassing self-contained treatment of Near-Capacity Multi-Functional
MIMO Systems, the book starts by categorizing the family of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output …

In this tutorial, the design procedure of near-capacity channel code design invoking non-
binary EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts is illustrated by using design examples of …

Recent developments such as the invention of powerful turbo-decoding and irregular
designs, together with the increase in the number of potential applications to multimedia …

A recently proposed space-time block-coding (STBC) signal-construction method that
combines orthogonal design with sphere packing (SP), referred to here as STBC-SP, has …

Wheel-rail contacts operate in an arduous and contaminated environment. Railway track
running surfaces can become damaged either prior to or during operation. This work is …

In this tutorial, a unified treatment of the topic of near capacity multimedia communication
systems is offered, where we focus our attention not only on source and channel coding but …

This paper analyzes the outage performance of soft-cancellation frequency-domain
minimum-mean-square error (SC FD-MMSE) turbo equalization in a serially concatenated …

The family of recent wireless standards included the optional employment of MIMO
tyechniques. This was motivated by the observation according to the classic Shannon …

In this thesis, we apply EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts for analysing iterative
decoding and detection schemes. We first consider a two-stage iterative source/channel …
