This thesis addresses the topic of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code analysis, both asymptotically and for finite block lengths. Since in general it is a difficult problem to analyze individual code instances, ensemble averages are studied by following ...
We consider communication over a time-invariant discrete memoryless channel (DMC) with noiseless and instantaneous feedback. We assume that the transmitter and the receiver are not aware of the underlying channel, however, they know that it belongs to some ...
We consider communication over a time invariant discrete memoryless channel with noiseless and instantaneous feedback. We assume that the communicating parties are not aware of the underlying channel, however they know that it belongs to some specific fami ...
Suppose Q is a family of discrete memoryless channels. An unknown member of Q is available with perfect (causal) feedback for communication. A recent result (A. Tchamkerten and I.E. Telatar) shows the existence, for certain families of channels (e.g. binar ...
We prove that for any given R between 0 and 1 the best threshold value for a regular LDPC code of rate R with common variable degree v and common check degree c occurs when v is at least 3 and is minimal subject to the condition R=1−v/c ...
We consider LDPC codes, transmission over the binary symmetric channel (BSC), and decoding using Gallager's algorithm A. For those ensembles whose threshold is determined by the behavior of the algorithm at the beginning of the decoding process we derive a ...
It is well-known that random error-correcting codes achieve the Gilbert-Varshamov bound with high probability. In [2], the authors describe a construction which can be used to yield a polynomially large family of codes of which a large fraction achieve the ...
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 by using sets of binary ma ...
Suppose Q is a family of discrete memoryless channels. An unknown member of Q will be available, with perfect, causal output feedback for communication. We study a scenario where communication is carried by first testing the channel by means of a training ...
This paper provides an inner bound to the rate-distortion region of a source coding setup in which two encoders are allowed some collaboration to describe a pair of discrete memoryless sources. We further require some robustness in case one of the encoders ...
