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 …

Large-scale quantum computers have the potential to hold computational capabilities
beyond conventional computers. However, the physical qubits are prone to noise which …

A transmission system with adjustable data rate for single-carrier coherent optical
transmission is proposed, which enables high-speed transmission close to the Shannon …

Since the introduction of coherent transponders, forward error correction based on soft
decision is now established in optical communication. In this paper, we give a tutorial-style …

We investigate spatially coupled code ensembles. For transmission over the binary erasure
channel, it was recently shown that spatial coupling increases the belief propagation …

In this paper, we construct protograph-based spatially coupled low-density parity-check
(LDPC) codes by coupling together a series of L disjoint, or uncoupled, LDPC code Tanner …

In this paper, we discuss and present some recent advances in the field of error correcting
codes and discuss their applicability for lightwave transmission systems. We introduce …

Error correction coding (ie, channel coding) is a key ingredient of any digital
communications system. In mobile wireless communications, channel codes have evolved …

Since the discovery of turbo codes 20 years ago and the subsequent rediscovery of low-
density parity check codes a few years later, the field of channel coding has experienced a …

Spatially coupled codes have been of interest recently owing to their superior performance
over memoryless binary-input channels. The performance is good both asymptotically, since …
