Dual Connectivity(DC) is one of the key technologies standardized in Release 12 of the 3GPP specifications for the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. It attempts to increase the per-user throughput by allowing the user equipment (UE) to maintain connections with the MeNB (master eNB) and SeNB (secondary eNB) simultaneously, which are inter-connected via non-ideal backhaul. In this paper, we focus...
This paper proposes Raptor codes-structured wireless super-dense networks serving a massive number of users with passive nodes constructing a precode of Raptor codes for future wireless networks. Passive nodes do not have their own information and only forward information from the neighboring nodes to the destination node. Similar to the capability of precode of Raptor coding scheme to protect information...
Panoramic streaming enables users to interactively navigate through high-spatial resolution videos and create an immersive and personalized user experience. Since transmission of high-resolution videos in desirable quality is not feasible given the limited throughput of access and home network links, our work is based on tile-based streaming, where only a spatial subset of the video is transmitted...
This paper presents a Non-Binary LDPC decoder with information throughput of 2.267Gbps and power consumption of 212.4mW, yielding an energy efficiency of 93.7pJ/b, implemented in a 40nm CMOS technology. The employed code is long and high-rate without degree-2 variable nodes, resulting in a low error floor. A dual decoding algorithm scheme alleviates the computational complexity of decoding, realized...
Deployed in various distributed storage systems, erasure coding has demonstrated its advantages of low storage overhead and high failure tolerance. Typically in an erasure-coded distributed storage system, systematic maximum distance seperable (MDS) codes are chosen since the optimal storage overhead can be achieved and meanwhile data can be read directly without decoding operations. However, data...
Recently, data transmission has become more important in our daily life. The developments of communication component are diverging with electromagnetic (EM) techniques. According to the popularity of wireless communications, the limitations of transmission also appear. Especially, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and frequency spectrum shortage would limit the application of wireless communication...
Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) and link adaptation (LA) are two powerful techniques to improve the data throughput in wireless communication systems. However, when integrated with LA, conventional HARQ does not provide much gain over LA without significantly increasing the number of retransmissions and initial coding rate. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of achieving high throughput by combining HARQ...
Multi-path TCP has recently shown great potential to take advantage of the rich path diversity in data center networks (DCN) to increase transmission throughput. However, the small flows, which take a large fraction of data center traffic, will easily get a timeout when split onto multiple paths. Moreover, the dynamic congestions and node failures in DCN will exacerbate the reorder problem of parallel...
Encoder and decoder implementations of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard have been subject to many optimization approaches since the release in 2013. However, the real-time decoding of high quality and ultra high resolution videos is still a very challenging task. Especially entropy decoding (CABAC) is most often the throughput bottleneck for very high bitrates. Syntax Element Partitioning...
Spinal codes are a recently proposed capacity-achieving rateless code. While hardware encoding of spinal codes is straightforward, the design of an efficient, high-speed hardware decoder poses significant challenges. We present the first such decoder. By relaxing data dependencies inherent in the classic M-algorithm decoder, we obtain area and throughput competitive with 3GPP turbo codes as well as...
Wireless communication systems use adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) as well as hybrid ARQ (HARQ) to mitigate the effects of time-varying and error-prone channels. In this work, we analyze the benefits of combining HARQ and AMC adopting the throughput as a unique performance measure. The analysis of block-fading channels and error-prone decoders allows us to conclude that i) adding HARQ on top...
In this work, we propose and optimize a new coding strategy designed to enhance the throughput of hybrid ARQ (HARQ) transmissions over i.i.d. block-fading channels where the channel state information (CSI) is unknown at the transmitter. Unlike in the conventional approach, where many blocks are exclusively assigned to carry the HARQ rounds of a single packet, we use a joint coding and the same channel...
The discrete memoryless Z-Channel with a confidential message and a cooperative receiver (DM-ZC-CMCR) is considered. A noiseless one-sided rate-limited cooperation link exists between the two receivers. The secrecy level is measured by the equivocation rate. An outer bound on the secrecy-capacity-region DM-ZC-CMCR is derived. An achievable secrecy-rate region is proposed. The secrecy-sum capacity...
Network coding (NC) enables us to mix two or more packets into a single coded packet at relay nodes and improve performances in wireless networks. Intra-session sliding window network coding is used at the source nodes and inter-session network coding is employed at the relay node to combine the recovered source packets of source nodes. In this paper, we investigate the performance of the network-coded...
In spatial information networks (SIN), communication links are suffered by periodic time-varying channel noise because of the periodic motion orbit of the space nodes and planets. Moveover, SIN communications may have a probability to fail at random times, such as severe rain attenuation on Ka-band downlinks, or solar scintillation during the superior/inferior solar conjunction. In this paper, we...
The contribution of this paper is implementing a high throughput LDPC codec in FPGA for quantum key distribution (QKD) system. By software, the throughput of error correction in QKD system via LDPC codec could only reach 1.8Mbps, which is not satisfactory for high speed QKD systems. Thus, it is desirable that LDPC error correction is realized in FPGA to increase the throughput. LDPC codec is implemented...
Recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has gained more attention as a candidate multiple access scheme for future radio access. A major reason for this is that NOMA has the potential to achieve a more favorable tradeoff between system efficiency and user fairness than orthogonal multiple access (OMA), which is adopted in the 4th generation mobile communication systems such as LTE and LTE-Advanced...
Molecular communication is a new framework in data communication based on biological mechanisms and systems. In molecular communication system, the transmitter sends information by transmitting certain chemical molecules called data molecules and after propagation of the molecules in the environment they are collected and decoded by the receiver. Due to randomness in the movement of the molecules,...
Physical layer processing for 5G wireless is expected to operate at a very high-throughput with very low latency. Developing a channel coding system based on Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) for evolving requirements necessitates extensive experimentation involving undesirably long development cycles. We demonstrate the use of a High-level Synthesis (HLS) compiler in LabVIEW Communications to...
This paper presents a new dynamic and fully generic implementation of a Successive Cancellation (SC) decoder (multi-precision support and intra-/inter-frame strategy support). This fully generic SC decoder is used to perform comparisons of the different configurations in terms of throughput, latency and energy consumption. A special emphasis is given on the energy consumption on low power embedded...
