On the joint source and channel coding of atomic image streams
This paper presents an error resilient coding scheme for atomic image bitstreams, as generated by Matching Pursuit encoders. A joint source and channel coding algorithm is proposed, that takes benefit of both the flexibility in the image representation, an ...
IEEE2004DCC-MAC: A Decentralized MAC Protocol for 802.15.4a-like UWB Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Based on Dynamic Channel Coding
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Jörg Widmer
We present a joint PHY/MAC architecture (DCC-MAC) for 802.15.4a-like networks based on PPM-UWB. Unlike traditional approaches it fully utilizes the specific nature of UWB to achieve high rates at low protocol complexity. It is the first MAC protocol that a ...
2004A MAC protocol for UWB Very Low Power Mobile Ad-hoc Networks based on Dynamic Channel Coding with Interference Mitigation
Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ruben Merz, Jörg Widmer
We propose a MAC protocol for very low radiated power (1 microwatt) ultra-wide band (UWB) mobile ad-hoc networks. Unlike traditional approaches, our protocol fully utilizes the specific nature of the physical layer of UWB. This makes it possible to reach a ...
2004Low-delay low-complexity error-correcting codes on sparse graphs
This dissertation presents a systematic exposition on finite-block-length coding theory and practice. We begin with the task of identifying the maximum achievable rates over noisy, finite-block-length constrained channels, referred to as (ε, n)-capacity Cε ...
EPFL2003Representation theory for high-rate multiple-antenna code design
Multiple antennas can greatly increase the data rate and reliability of a wireless communication link in a fading environment, but the practical success of using multiple antennas depends crucially on our ability to design high-rate space-time constellatio ...
2001Improved low-density parity-check codes using irregular graphs
We construct new families of error-correcting codes based on Gallager's (1973) low-density parity-check codes. We improve on Gallager's results by introducing irregular parity-check matrices and a new rigorous analysis of hard-decision decoding of these co ...
2001Multiple antennas and representation theory
Multiple antennas can greatly increase the data rate and reliability of a wireless communication link in a fading environment, but the practical success of using multiple antennas depends crucially on our ability to design high-rate space-time constellatio ...
