Beamforming (BF) improves the error rate performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication systems by spatial separation of the transmitted data streams. Spatial separation is achieved by multiplication of the transmit vector by a ...
Multiuser interference (MUI) statistical models for impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems can be an important in providing an accurate estimate of the channel state. As such, it can have a major impact on the overall system performance. In the lite ...
Designs for transmit alphabet constrained space-time codes naturally lead to questions about the design of rank distance codes. Recently, diversity embedded multi-level space-time codes for flat fading channels have been designed from sets of binary matric ...
We consider the problem of transmitting a Gaussian source on a slowly fading Gaussian channel, subject to the mean-squared error distortion measure. The channel state information is known only at the receiver but not at the transmitter. The source is assum ...
Consider a K-user interference channel with time-varying fading. At any particular time, each receiver will see a signal from most transmitters. The standard approach to such a scenario results in each transmitter-receiver pair achieving a rate proportiona ...

The memoryless noncoherent single-input-single-output (SISO) Rayleigh-fading channel is considered. Closed-form expressions are derived for the mutual information between the output and the input of this channel when the input magnitude distribution is dis ...
Given uncertainty in environment, a conservative approach is to design for the worst case, leading to a game-theoretic situation where the environment is controlled by an adversary. However, in many cases, the uncertainty arises from randomness, not an adv ...
Rate and diversity impose a fundamental trade-off in communications. This tradeoff was investigated for Intersymbol Interference (ISI) channels in [7]. A different point of view was explored in [4] where high-rate codes were designed so that they have a hi ...
When designing complex communication systems, such as MIMO-OFDM transceivers, prototypes have become an important tool for understanding the implementation trade-offs and the system behavior. This paper presents a real-time FPGA prototype for a 4-stream MI ...
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm in video coding, based on the Slepian-Wolf and Wyner-Ziv theorems. DVC offers a number of potential advantages: flexible partitioning of the complexity between the encoder and decoder, robustness to channel ...
