Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized the transmission of data over a communication channel and determined its fundamental limits. He characterized the relation between communication rate and error probability and showed that as long as the communicatio ...
Shannon's discovery of digital communication has shaped the architecture of virtually all communication systems in use today. The digital communication paradigm is built around the notion of bits and uses careful coding to deliver bits reliably end-to-end. ...
This book is the set of lecture notes for a course given at EPFL. It contains all the material needed by an engineer who wishes to evaluate the performance of a computer or communication system. ...
Multi-user communication theory typically studies the fundamental limits of communication systems, and considers communication schemes that approach or even achieve these limits. The functioning of many such schemes assumes that users always cooperate, eve ...
The use of cooperative ITS communication systems, supporting driving through the dynamic exchange of Vehicle-to- Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) messages, is a potential candidate to improve the economical and societal welfare. The applic ...
In sensor networks and communication systems, one is often confronted with sampling multiple sparse signals having a common support set. Multipath channels in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication setting is an interesting example ...

One of the key innovations during the evolution of life on earth has been the emergence of efficient communication systems, yet little is known about the causes and consequences of the great diversity within and between species. By conducting experimental ...
Sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses possess a rectangular spectrum, enabling data to be encoded in a minimum spectral bandwidth and satisfying by essence the Nyquist criterion of zero inter-symbol interference (ISI). This property makes them very attractive for com ...
Most information-theoretic analyses of communication systems with feedback assume perfect output feedback. For multiaccess channels, this feedback can enable cooperation between users. However, as shown by a simple example, the rate required by the feedbac ...

The design of a programmable receiver for an ultra wideband (UWB) communication is presented. The receiver is using a fast analog to digital converter (ADC) and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) allowing a rapid performance evaluation for various syst ...
