This paper describes an energy-efficient PAM-4 digital receiver based on sequence detection. This scheme takes advantage of the ISI in the channel to reconstruct the time domain 5-bit sequence including MSB and LSB. The architecture also enables built-in error correction with very low latency. This concept is demonstrated with prototype implemented in a 28nm FDSOI CMOS using only 18-data comparators...
Transmission techniques based on channel coding with feedback are proposed in this paper to enhance the security of wireless communications systems at the physical layer. Reliable and secure transmission over an additive noise Gaussian wiretap channel is investigated using Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) and Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) channel codes. A hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) protocol...
In this paper, we investigate the cryptanalysis of stream ciphers, and evaluate the enhancement to security that can be gained when the ciphertext is error prone by analyzing specific attack algorithm. The stream ciphers that we investigate here have a keystream generator that is based on linear-feedback shift registers (LFSRs). In particular, we characterize the security of these ciphers when the...
In this paper, as a basic study for combination of turbo equalizer and 4D-8PSK-TCM (4 Dimensional 8 Phase Shift Keying Trellis Coded Modulation) system, which is recommended for X-band band satellite communication in CCSDS, a system combining 8PSK-TCM system and turbo equalizer has been designed and performance evaluation of the system has been performed. BER performance of 8PSK and 8PSK-TCM systems...
Polar coding is a low-complexity method for communication over noisy classical channels, which is capable of providing highly reliable data transmission. This paper proposes an enhanced polar codec scheme for mission critical applications in train-to-ground wireless communications. Firstly, we develop an enhanced polar coding scheme to support reliable data transmission under time-varying channel...
Polar codes are a family of capacity-achieving error-correcting codes, and they have been selected as part of the next generation wireless communication standard. Each polar code bit-channel is assigned a reliability value, used to determine which bits transmit information and which parity. Relative reliabilities need to be known by both encoders and decoders: in case of multi-mode systems, where...
Low-density parity check (LDPC) codes are a mature coding scheme in telecommunications and the low power implementation of corresponding decoders is an issue of significant importance for receivers with stringent power budgets. This paper presents a power reduction technique for LDPC decoders that further extends their energy-proportional behavior, obtained with early-termination (ET), by predicting...
Low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) scheme is getting increasingly popular and sophisticated in today's wireless communication systems, since it can highly improve the spectral efficiency, data rates, and error performance. In this paper, a novel iterative detection and decoding (IDD) method for LDPC-coded massive MIMO systems is proposed. Based...
Increased demand for wireless services has spurred research into spectrum co-existence between radar and communication systems. The effect of an unaltered radar interference on an uncoded communication receiver has been investigated for constellations used in commercial systems. However, the constellation design — possible for a cognitive transmitter-receiver pair — that maximizes the transmission...
Efficient code descriptions of rate compatible polar codes are studied. An efficient code description method, so-called the polarization weight sequence that defines multiple codewords, was proposed in 3GPP standardization. We verify the validity of the method for various environments. We assess the performance degradation under successive cancellation (SC) decoding and SC list decoding compared with...
Recent advancements in powered lower limb prostheses have led to the development of neural-machine interfaces for natural control during bipedal locomotion. In particular, electromyography (EMG) patterns recorded from the amputated limb can be leveraged to infer the intended gait pattern of the user. However, the optimal control strategy for translating the EMG patterns to kinematic space remains...
Advanced powered lower-limb prosthetic devices require an intuitive and flexible user control interface to work in a dynamic environment. This study investigated the feasibility of inferring muscle activation patterns (electromyography, EMG, envelope) from non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) signals. Six healthy individuals participated in this study; the subjects were instructed to walk at...
A parameter optimization scheme of block interleaver for polar coding with bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) is proposed in this paper. We analyze the characteristics of a random interleaver applied to polar codes with high-order modulation, which is ideal but infeasible to implement. Then we derive the parameter optimization algorithm of block interleaver for polar coding with BICM. The block...
In a binary input additive white Gaussian noise (BIAWGN) channel, belief propagation (BP) decoding for luby transform (LT) codes requires the knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver to achieve its optimal performance. An erroneous estimation of the SNR at the decoder is referred to as “SNR mismatch”. SNR mismatch can significantly degrade the BP decoding performance of LT codes...
In this paper, we propose an algebraic approach to design extremely low rate low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by employing the primitive polynomials. We first investigate the requirements for the polynomials to construct 4-cycle free LDPC codes and then propose an algebraic approach to design the parity check matrix. To achieve a better decoding performance in the extremely low rate region, we...
In this paper Barnes-Wall lattices for the K-user symmetric interference channel are considered. This paper is inspired by the work of Jafar [1], where a deterministic model is used in order to build a scheme to obtain the generalized degrees of freedom for each type of interference. The scheme uses a base Q expression to build the transmitted signals. This is an inspiration for [2] where, for some...
The latest extended-coverage (EC-GSM-IoT) and high-throughput (EGPRS2A) enhancements make GSM competitive to LTE-based cIoT standards such as NB-IoT with the advantage of global coverage today. This work introduces the first fully-integrated RF-SoC supporting the complete GSM standard family ranging from EC-GSM-IoT through EGPRS2A. The RF-SoC achieves −121.7 dBm receiver sensitivity and peak data...
Plane wave methods for ultrafast ultrasound imaging suffer from a low signal to noise ratio (SNR) and a limited field of view at greater imaging depths. Imaging using multiple focused coded beams in parallel is one strategy for high speed imaging that may improve on these limitations. However, the SNR and resolution of this strategy are degraded by the interference between the beams transmitted in...
This paper proposes a modified bit flipping algorithm and its weighted variants based on reliability derived from intrinsic information. Compared to other existing algorithms where extrinsic information based reliability was used in the flipping function, here intrinsic information based reliability is also equally considered. This algorithm only uses additions and subtractions to modify reliability...
