Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have attracted much attention over the past two
decades since they can asymptotically approach the Shannon capacity in a variety of data …

As one of the most classical data-storage systems, magnetic recording (MR) systems have
attracted a significant amount of research attention in the past several decades due to the …

We investigate the performance and design of free-space optical (FSO) communication links
over slow fading channels from an information theory perspective. A statistical model for the …

Fifth generation wireless networks are currently being developed to handle a wide range of
new use cases. One important emerging area is ultra-reliable communication with …

This paper discusses construction of protograph-based low-density parity-check (LDPC)
codes. Emphasis is placed on protograph ensembles whose typical minimum distance …

Communication over a noisy quantum channel introduces errors in the transmission that
must be corrected. A fundamental bound on quantum error correction is the quantum …

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 article we argue that the retail transnational corporation (TNC) is an entity that merits
urgent theoretical and empirical investigation from economic geographers. Using recent …

In this paper, we propose an innovative channel coding scheme called accumulate-repeat-
accumulate (ARA) codes. This class of codes can be viewed as serial turbo-like codes or as …

In this paper, we study the gains from opportunistic spectrum usage when neither sender or
receiver are aware of the current channel conditions in different frequency bands. Hence to …
