Polar codes for channel and source coding

Satish Babu Korada

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Source and channel coding using Fountain codes

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana

The invention of Fountain codes is a major advance in the field of error correcting codes. The goal of this work is to study and develop algorithms for source and channel coding using a family of Fountain codes known as Raptor codes. From an asymptotic poi ...

On communication over discrete memoryless channels with noiseless feedback

Peter Allan Berlin

The addition of a feedback link to a discrete memoryless channel does not increase its capacity, but it does bring with it other benefits. One of these benefits is an increase to the best achievable error exponent. In the first part of this thesis we revis ...

Diversity embedding for broadband communication

Sanket Dusad

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 ...

Distributed coding of multiresolution omnidirectional images

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic, Vijayaraghavan Thirumalai

This paper addresses the problem of compact representation of a 3D scene, captured by distributed omnidirectional cameras. As the images from the sensors are likely to be correlated in most practical scenarios, we build a distributed algorithm based on cod ...

Channel coding and modulation based on chaotic systems

Slobodan Kozic

In this thesis, a new class of codes on graphs based on chaotic dynamical systems are proposed. In particular, trellis coded modulation and iteratively decodable codes on graphs are studied. The codes are designed by controlling symbolic dynamics of chaoti ...

Efficient error correction solutions for OFDM based digital video

Mauro Lattuada

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 ...

Unequal Error Protection of Atomic Image Streams

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst

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. ...

Effect of Interfering Users on the Modulation Order and Code Rate for UWB Impulse-Radio Bit-Interleaved Coded M-ary PPM

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz

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 ...

Concatenated codes for block-fading channels

Albert Guillén i Fàbregas

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 ...
