When is uncoded transmission optimal? This paper derives easy-to-check necessary and sufficient conditions that do not require finding the rate-distortion and the capacity-cost functions. We consider the symbol-by-symbol communication of discrete-time memo ...
Multiple antennas can greatly increase the data rate and reliability of a wireless communication link in a fading environment, but the practical success of using multiple antennas depends crucially on our ability to design high-rate space-time constellatio ...
Forward Error Correction copes with packet losses, but at the expense of an increase of the end-to-end delay. By failing to take this into account, existing error control schemes for audio often lead to end-to-end delays larger than 150 ms, which has an im ...
This thesis aims at developing wireless systems with a strong emphasis on low-power consumption and low-voltage operation. The main technical objective is the development of a single cells battery operated fully integrated CMOS RF transceiver that fulfills ...
This paper investigates encoders optimization for the Hamming weight after periodic puncturing, and discusses minimality issues that may affect the performance of the punctured encoders. Periodically puncturing a minimal encoder produces a higher rate enco ...
It is well known that a simple binary feedback rate--based congestion avoidance scheme cannot ensure a fairness goal of the Available Bit Rate (ABR) service, namely, max--min fairness. In this paper we show how the rates are distributed for the network con ...
The properties of semiconductor laser diodes for trace gas measurements are reviewed. First, the modulation characteristics of these lasers are discussed. Then, two sensitive spectroscopic methods using a frequency-modulated near-IR laser are presented and ...
We construct signal constellations for differential transmission with multiple basestation antennas. The signals are derived using the theory of fixed-point- free groups and are especially suitable for mobile cellular applications because they do not requi ...

The bandwidth of holographic recording in LiNbO3 (Fe doped) in the 90 degrees geometry is studied theoretically and experimentally. The wide holographic bandwidth of LiNbO3 makes it possible to record submicrometer pixels and reconstruct them by phase conj ...
