Reed-Muller (RM) codes were introduced in 1954 and have long been conjectured to achieve Shannon's capacity on symmetric channels. The activity on this conjecture has recently been revived with the emergence of polar codes. RM codes and polar codes are gen ...
In his landmark paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," the founding father of information theory and coding theory, Claude E. Shannon, established the largest rate at which reliable communication is possible and he revealed that the key to this re ...
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an emerging part production technology that offers many ad-vantages such as high degree of customization, material savings and design of 3D highly complex structures. However, AM is a complex multiphysics process. Therefore, ...
Consider a binary linear code of length N, minimum distance d(min), transmission over the binary erasure channel with parameter 0 < epsilon < 1 or the binary symmetric channel with parameter 0 < epsilon < 1/2, and block-MAP decoding. It was shown by Tillic ...
Using an age of information (AoI) metric, we examine the transmission of coded updates through a binary erasure channel to a monitor/receiver. %Coded redundancy is employed to ensure the timely delivery of codupdate packets. We start by deriving the averag ...
Polar codes represent one of the major recent breakthroughs in coding theory and, because of their attractive features, they have been selected for the incoming SG standard. As such, a lot of attention has been devoted to the development of decoding algori ...
We consider the dynamics of message passing for spatially coupled codes and, in particular, the set of density evolution equations that tracks the profile of decoding errors along the spatial direction of coupling. It is known that, for suitable boundary c ...
We consider a system where randomly generated updates are to be transmitted to a monitor, but only a single update can be in the transmission service at a time. Therefore, the source has to prioritize between the two possible transmission policies: preempt ...
The prototypical signal processing pipeline can be divided into four blocks. Representation of the signal in a basis suitable for processing. Enhancement of the meaningful part of the signal and noise reduction. Estimation of important statistical properti ...
High-speed serial links are a crucial application of semiconductor technology and have been the enabler of the scaling of computing systems. The increasing data-rate requirements of these links have only been partially satisfied by advancements in process ...
