A Generalized Adjusted Min-Sum Decoder for 5G LDPC Codes: Algorithm and Implementation

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Yifei Shen, Yuqing Ren, Hassan Harb

5G New Radio (NR) has stringent demands on both performance and complexity for the design of low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoding algorithms and corresponding VLSI implementations. Furthermore, decoders must fully support the wide range of all 5G NR bl ...

Band-of-Interest-based Channel Impulse Response Fusion for Breathing Rate Estimation with UWB

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Sitian Li

The channel impulse response (CIR) obtained from the channel estimation step of various wireless systems is a widely used source of information in wireless sensing. Breathing rate is one of the important vital signs that can be retrieved from the CIR. Rece ...

Pipelined Architecture for Soft-Decision Iterative Projection Aggregation Decoding for RM Codes

Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Yuqing Ren

The recently proposed recursive projection-aggregation (RPA) decoding algorithm for Reed-Muller codes has received significant attention as it provides near-ML decoding performance at reasonable complexity for short codes. However, its complicated structur ...

A Sequence Repetition Node-Based Successive Cancellation List Decoder for 5G Polar Codes: Algorithm and Implementation

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen, Yifei Shen, Yuqing Ren, Chuan Zhang

Due to the low-latency and high-reliability require-ments of 5G, low-complexity node-based successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding has received considerable attention for use in 5G communications systems. By identifying special constituent codes in the ...

Dynamic SCL Decoder With Path-Flipping for 5G Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Yifei Shen, Chuan Zhang

Since polar were ratified as part of the 5G standard, low-complexity polar decoders with close-to-optimum error-rate performance have received significant attention. Compared to successive cancellation (SC) decoding, both SC list and SC flip decoding can i ...

A Maximum-Likelihood-Based Two-User Receiver for LoRa Chirp Spread-Spectrum Modulation

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Orion Afisiadis, Joachim Tobias Tapparel, Mathieu Pierre Xhonneux

Long Range (LoRa) is an emerging low-power wide-area network technology offering long-range wireless connectivity to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For energy efficiency reasons, LoRa end nodes implement a nonslotted ALOHA multiple access scheme to tran ...

Fast Sequence Repetition Node-Based Successive Cancellation List Decoding for Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen, Yifei Shen, Yuqing Ren, Chuan Zhang

Compared with the bit-wise successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding of polar codes, the node-based Fast SCL decoding significantly reduces the decoding latency by identifying special constituent codes and decoding these in parallel. To further reduce th ...

ComplexBeat: Breathing Rate Estimation from Complex CSI

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andreas Toftegaard Kristensen, Sitian Li

In this paper, we explore the use of channel state information (CSI) from a WiFi system to estimate the breathing rate of a person in a room. In order to extract WiFi CSI components that are sensitive to breathing, we propose to consider the delay domain c ...

On the Advantage of Coherent LoRa Detection in the Presence of Interference

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Orion Afisiadis, Joachim Tobias Tapparel, Sitian Li

It has been shown that the coherent detection of long range (LoRa) signals only provides marginal gains of around 0.7 dB on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. However, ALOHA-based massive Internet-of-Things systems, including LoRa, often ope ...
