This paper focuses on low complexity architectures for check node processing in Non-Binary LDPC decoders. To be specific, we focus on Extended Min-Sum decoders and consider the state-of-the-art Forward-Backward and Syndrome-Based approaches. We recall the presorting technique that allows for significant complexity reduction at the Elementary Check Node level. The Extended-Forward architecture is then...
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...
Polar codes were recently chosen to protect the control channel information in the next-generation mobile communication standard (5G) defined by the 3GPP. As a result, receivers will have to implement blind detection of polar coded frames in order to keep complexity, latency, and power consumption tractable. As a newly proposed class of block codes, the problem of polar-code blind detection has received...
The paper is focused on use of Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) in the image steganography based on the research in the field of invariant image recognition. In general, steganography deals with data concealing in the cover mediums which can be freely accessible or transmitted by various communication channels without any restriction. A suitable position of hidden message is crucial for a successful...
This paper presents an energy-efficient solution to overcome packet loss in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by adding seed-based Random Linear Network Coding to MQTT for Sensor Networks (MQTT-SN). Whereas most sensors integrated in common WSN devices consume little energy, using the radio is costly. To increase battery lifetime, devices try to minimize their radio uptime, while still satisfy timeliness...
In this work, we give the first construction of high-rate locally list-recoverable codes. List-recovery has been an extremely useful building block in coding theory, and our motivation is to use these codes as such a building block. In particular, our construction gives the first capacity-achieving locally list-decodable codes (over constant-sized alphabet); the first capacity achieving} globally...
We propose a gray coding method for deep neural network (DNN) based decoder. With multiple resources considered together, DNN can be used to decode corrupted signals. In deep learning training, stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm is used, which means that the cost function must be differentiable. Then, allocating the discrete bits for each symbol is difficult. To solve this problem, the basic...
In order to address a wide variety of future requirements, Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), a non-orthogonal multicarrier scheme, is considered as one of the most promising techniques available today. To improve the orthogonality of the conventional GFDM system, a multi-taper implementation of GFDM (MGFDM) using discrete prolate spheroidal sequences (DPSSs) or multi-tapers, which...
Reed-Solomon code or RS code is widely used for error corrections of data in transmission and storages. However, it is thought of as insecure for direct implementation in code-based cryptography due to plaintext-known attacks. In recent years, McEliece cryptosystem with enhanced public key security by generalized RS code and Goppa code are discussed for hardware implementation. In this work, from...
Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is a promising non-orthogonal multiple access scheme to support massive connectivity. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme to analyze the performance of Low-density Parity-check (LDPC) codes in SCMA systems based on density evolution (DE) theory. In particular, we develop the combination method including channel adapter and log-likelihood ratio (LLR) convertor...
In this paper, we propose a feedback-aided irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (F-IRSA) protocol which depends on the distance between the received packet and the set of packets already recovered at the receiver. We employ feedback messages to terminate the user retransmission process, and use successive interference cancellation (SIC) for packet recovery. We evaluate the number of transmissions per...
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...
A universal design methodology for inter-leavers in bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) systems deploying binary irregular quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes and higher-order modulation is presented. The interleaver is introduced to lower decoding threshold when higher-order modulation is adopted. For this purpose, an optimization procedure with modified numerical analysis as...
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...
In this work, we implement and demonstrate differential amplify-and-forward (DAF) cooperative relaying as a novel diversity technique to combat bit errors and outages common in airborne environments. By using differential modulation and demodulation, we reduce the system complexity by avoiding channel estimation which is often unreliable or computationally costly in dynamic environments with mobile...
We consider a communication problem in which a transmitter encodes a source into several streams that are subject to modification by an omniscient adversary while en route. We design encodings with a distortion guarantee that degrades gradually as the number of streams that the adversary alters increases. Notably, we find that a mixture of highly redundant coding and uncoded transmission outperforms...
Advances in virtual reality have generated substantial interest in accurately reproducing and storing spatial audio in the higher order ambisonics (HOA) representation, given its rendering flexibility. Recent standardization for HOA compression adopted a framework wherein HOA data are decomposed into principal components that are then encoded by standard audio coding, i.e., frequency domain quantization...
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...
In this letter, protograph based quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are designed for multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memories, where the exact voltage signal values are unavailable but rather the quantized voltage signals are measured for soft decoding. Existing LDPC codes optimized for symmetric, additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)-like channels are not optimal for flash memory...
