This paper applies probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) to cyclic redundancy check (CRC)-
aided tail-biting trellis-coded modulation (TCM). CRC-TCM-PAS produces practical codes …

Recently, CRC-aided list decoding of convolutional codes has gained attention thanks to its
remarkable performance in the short blocklength regime. This paper studies the …

In this paper, we propose a new joint source-channel coding (JSCC) for short-packet
communications, especially for the uplink from the sensor to the base station. At the …

Maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding of tail-biting convolutional codes (TBCCs) with S= 2^v
states traditionally requires a separate S-state trellis for each of the S possible …

We extend earlier work on the design of convolutional code-specific CRC codes to Q-ary
alphabets, with an eye toward Q-ary orthogonal signaling. Starting with distance-spectrum …

An expurgating linear function (ELF) is an outer code that disallows low-weight codewords
of the inner code. ELFs can be designed either to maximize the minimum distance or to …

Motivated by the need to communicate short control messages in 5G and beyond, this paper
carefully designs codes for cyclic redundancy check (CRC)-aided list decoding of tail-biting …

This thesis consists of two main sections investigating the performance of cyclic-redundancy-
check-aided (CRC-aided) list decoding on short block codes. The first section analyzes the …

Polar codes have emerged as a powerful error correction technique for reliable data
transmission in various communication systems. The addition of cyclic redundancy check …

At short blocklengths, well designed zero-terminated (ZT) and tail-biting (TB) convolutional
codes (CCs) concatenated with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes have been shown to …
