Convolutional low-density parity-check (LDPC) ensembles, introduced by Felstrom and Zigangirov, have excellent thresholds and these thresholds are rapidly increasing functions of the average degree. Several variations on the basic theme have been proposed ...
The contribution of this thesis is twofold. In the first part, we generalize and analyze two classes of error correcting codes: LDPC codes and product codes. We generalize graphical codes by considering checks being arbitrary codes instead of single pariti ...
Scratchpad memory (SPM) is widely used in modern embedded processors to overcome the limitations of cache memory. The high vulnerability of SPM to soft errors, however, limits its usage in safety-critical applications. This paper proposes an efficient faul ...
Polar codes are a new class of block codes with an explicit construction that provably achieve the capacity of various communications channels, even with the low-complexity successive-cancellation (SC) decoding algorithm. Yet, the more complex successive-c ...
For the past 70 years or so, coding theorists have been aiming at designing transmission schemes with efficient encoding and decoding algorithms that achieve the capacity of various noisy channels. It was not until the '90s that graph-based codes, such as ...
This paper joins a series of papers dealing with high-speed power system emulators. It clarifies the last details about the system level of the AC emulation approach by analyzing and quantifying the systematic errors introduced during modeling. Thereby a n ...
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 ...
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 ...
This paper proposes a new class of low-density generator-matrix codes (LDGM) based on chaotic dynamical systems. The codes are designed by controlling symbolic dynamics and using linear convolutional codes. Analyzing the complex structure of chaotic system ...
In this paper we consider the finite-length performance of turbo codes in the waterfall region assuming the transmission on the binary erasure channel. We extend the finite-length scaling law of LDPC codes [1] and of Repeat-Accumulate codes [3] to this ens ...
