Communications is about conveying information from one point to another subject to certain performance constraints. The information is assumed to be generated by a source and may, for example, represent a voice waveform, the reading of a thermal sensor, or ...
The robustness of the delivery of digital compressed video streams has always been one of the main topic of the standardization bodies to assure the Quality of the Service (QoS). The MPEG standard which is nowadays the reference for digital television defi ...
In this paper, we address the design of any number of balanced multiple descriptions using the multiple description scalar quantization(MDSQ) technique. The proposed scheme has the advantages of low complexity, the possibility of being extended easily to a ...
We consider the impact of multi-user interference on a bit-interleaved coded-modulation system with M-ary PPM (BIC M-ary PPM) in an impulse-radio ultra-wideband physical layer. In a realistic scenario such as an ad hoc network, the interference is inherent ...
This paper presents an unequal error protection scheme for atomic image bitstreams. An atomic stream is the encoded version of a digital image, which is represented as a sum of bi-dimensional functions, as typically generated by Matching Pursuit encoders. ...
In the scope of the development of a complete top-down design flow targeting clock and data recovery circuits for high-speed data links, we present two methods to analyze the jitter tolerance of such links, based on statistical simulation of incoming data ...
We present a complete top-down design of a low-power multi-channel clock recovery circuit based on gated current-controlled oscillators. The flow includes several tools and methods used to specify block constraints, to design and verify the topology down t ...
Recent studies have suggested that the soft-error rate in microprocessor logic will become a reliability concern by 2010. This paper proposes an efficient error detection technique, called fingerprinting, that detects differences in execution across a dual ...
On-chip interconnection networks for future systems on chip (SoC) will have to deal with the increasing sensitivity of global wires to noise sources such as crosstalk or power supply noise. Hence, transient delay and logic faults are likely to reduce the r ...

In this thesis we study coding strategies for single-user block-fading channels. The block-fading channel is a simplified model of slowly varying wireless communication channels with stringent delay constraints. This model is particularly important in prac ...
