Shannon's determination of the capacity of the linear Gaussian channel has posed a
magnificent challenge to succeeding generations of researchers. This paper surveys how …

This paper deals with 2/sup l/-ary transmission using multilevel coding (MLC) and multistage
decoding (MSD). The known result that MLC and MSD suffice to approach capacity if the …

A signal space code C is defined as geometrically uniform if, for any two code sequences in
C, there exists an isometry that maps one sequence into the other while leaving the code C …

This new edition has been extensively revised to reflect the progress in error control coding
over the past few years. Over 60% of the material has been completely reworked, and 30 …

Within the wide range of issues related to 4G wireless networks, due to the scope of the
ISSTA conference, in this presentation we highlight some segments of wireless networks …

A breadth-first trellis decoding algorithm is introduced for application to sequence estimation
in digital data transmission. The high degree of inherent parallelism makes a parallel …

A 2L-dimensional multiple phase-shift keyed (L* MPSK) signal set is obtained by forming the
Cartesian product of L two-dimensional MPSK signal sets. A systematic approach to …

Two combined unequal error protection (UEP) coding and modulation schemes are
proposed. The first method multiplexes different coded signal constellations, with each …

Rapid advances in recording materials, read/write heads, and mechanical designs over the
last 15 years have led to the need for more complicated signal processing, coding, and …

Coded-Modulation Techniques for Fading Channels provides the reader with a sound
background for the application of bandwidth-efficient coded-modulation techniques in fading …
