A novel coding strategy is proposed for a broadcast setting with two transmitter (TX) antennas and two single-antenna receivers (RX). The strategy consists of using space-time block coding to send a common message (to be decoded by both RXs) across …
In this letter, we investigate the performance tradeoff between different tiers of heterogeneous networks (HetNets) consisting of a macrocell as the basic tier and small cells (e.g., picocells, femtocells, etc.) as the other tiers. Due to the …
For the extremely high sampling rate and high resolution required for multi-Gigabit orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems, time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are being considered. However, in …
The outage probability limit is a fundamental and achievable lower bound on the word error rate of coded communication systems affected by fading. This limit is mainly determined by two parameters: the diversity order and the coding gain. With linear …
Indoor off-body wireless MIMO links between a mobile user equipped with wearable textile patch antennas and a fixed base station exhibit specific channel behavior due to the near presence and movements of the human body. Therefore, they require a …
Cooperative communication systems can effectively be used to combat fading. A cooperative protocol that can be used with half-duplex terminals is the Quantize and Forward (QF) protocol, in which the relay quantizes the information received from the …
This paper considers iterative detection of bit-interleaved coded continuous phase modulation in the presence of both phase noise (PN) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The proposed receiver iterates between a detection module and an …
We study Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes with iterative decoding on block-fading (BF) Relay Channels. We consider two users that employ coded cooperation, a variant of decode-and-forward with a smaller outage probability than the latter. An …
For a given channel instance and a fixed LDPC ensemble, a stability outage event is defined by the density evolution being unstable at the origin. The probability of such an event, referred to as Stability Outage Probability, is a useful lower bound …
Cooperative communication is a well known technique to yield transmit diversity and network coding can increase the spectral efficiency. These two techniques can be combined to achieve a double diversity order for a maximum coding rate Rc = 2/3 on …
