The development of error-correcting codes has been closely coupled with deep-space
exploration since the early days of both. Since the discovery of turbo codes in 1993, the …

The last decade has seen the development of iteratively decodable error-control codes of
unprecedented power, whose large coding gains enable reliable communication at very low …

In this paper, we consider the design and analysis of generalized low-density parity-check
(GLDPC) codes in AWGN channels. The GLDPC codes are specified by a bipartite Tanner …

This book introduces the reader to the concept of an autonomous software-defined radio
(SDR) receiver. Each distinct aspect of the design of the receiver is treated in a separate …

In this correspondence, we introduce a new class of low-rate error correction codes called
zigzag Hadamard (ZH) codes and their concatenation schemes. Each member of this class …

1.1 PURPOSE This Informational Report contains the concept and supporting rationale for
the TC Synchronization and Channel Coding Recommended Standard developed by the …

In this paper, we investigate the applicability of the 3GPP Long Term Evolution standard to
mobile satellite systems. In order to counteract the satellite specific propagation conditions …

Digital communication systems invariably employ an underlying analog communication
channel. At the transmitter, data is modulated to obtain an analog waveform which is input to …

This paper presents a new type of multiple access for fixed and mobile satellite
communication systems aiming at improving the bandwidth efficiency of highly reliable links …

A generalization of the BCJR algorithm is derived to compute joint posterior probabilities of
arbitrary sets of symbols given received data. A special case of the new algorithm that …
