In this semitutorial paper, a comprehensive survey of closest point search methods for
lattices without a regular structure is presented. The existing search strategies are described …

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 …

Maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding algorithms for Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output
(MIMO) linear channels are considered. Linearity over the field of real numbers facilitates the …

Presents a novel approach to soft decision decoding for binary linear block codes. The basic
idea is to achieve a desired error performance progressively in a number of stages. For each …

Variable-rate data transmission schemes in which constellation points are selected
according to a nonuniform probability distribution are studied. When the criterion is one of …

Building on the success of the first edition, which offered a practical introductory approach to
the techniques of error concealment, this book, now fully revised and updated, provides a …

Iterative decoding techniques have become a viable alternative for constructing high
performance coding systems. In particular, the recent success of turbo codes indicates that …

convolutional coding brings you a clear and comprehensive discussion of the basic …

A generalized state realization of the Wiberg (1996) type is called normal if symbol variables
have degree 1 and state variables have degree 2. A natural graphical model of such a …
