Variable-rate data transmission schemes in which constellation points are selected according to a nonuniform probability distribution studied. When the criterion is one of minimizing average transmitted energy for given bit rate, best possible with select constellations Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

A modification is introduced of the successive-cancellation decoder for polar codes, in which local decoders rate-one constituent codes are simplified. This reduces decoding latency and algorithmic complexity conventional decoder, while preserving bit block error rate. Significant reductions achieved over a wide range code rates.

The problem of designing new physical-layer network coding (PNC) schemes via lattice partitions is considered. Building on a recent work by Nazer and Gastpar, who demonstrated its asymptotic gain using information-theoretic tools, we take an algebraic approach to show potential in non-asymptotic settings. We first relate Nazer-Gastpar's the fundamental theorem finitely generated modules over principle ideal domain. Based this connection, generalize their code construction simplify encoding...

We present a unified graphical model framework for describing compound codes and deriving iterative decoding algorithms. After reviewing variety of models (Markov random fields, Tanner graphs, Bayesian networks), we derive general distributed marginalization algorithm functions described by factor graphs. From this algorithm, Pearl's (1986) belief propagation is easily derived as special case. point out that algorithms various codes, including "turbo decoding" parallel-concatenated...
Abstract In‐building power lines have often been considered as attractive media for high‐speed data transmission, particularly applications like home networking.

We consider channel frequency response noise in the 1–30 MHz band propose a number of test which to measure performance modems. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
A conditionally Gaussian channel is a vector in which the output, given input, has distribution with (well-behaved) input-dependent mean and covariance. We study capacity-achieving probability measure for channels subject to bounded-input constraints average cost constraints. Many practical communication systems, including additive noise channels, certain optical fading interference fall within this framework. Subject constraint (and constraints), we show that capacity achievable derive...

We experimentally demonstrate the successful modulation and error-free detection of three eigenvalue nonlinear frequency division multiplexed (NFDM) signals over 1800 km based on recently developed Fourier transform theoretical framework with digital coherent receivers. The eigenvalues are located upper-half complex plane modulated by independent ON-OFF keying signals, thus forming 3-bit NFDM symbols for fiber transmissions.
Motivated by the looming "capacity crunch" in fiber-optic networks, information transmission over such systems is revisited. Among numerous distortions, inter-channel interference multiuser wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) identified as seemingly intractable factor limiting achievable rate at high launch power. However, this distortion and similar ones arising from nonlinearity are primarily due to use of methods suited for linear systems, namely WDM pulse-train transmission, nonlinear...
This work proposes a probabilistic shaping scheme for optical WDM systems, where nonlinear interference noise depends on the input signal power distribution. With 16-QAM, white Gaussian channel analysis shows that shaped constellation is able to achieve reach improvement of up 7%, while split-step Fourier method simulations suggest even higher gains are possible in practice. An example system developed transmission distance around 3280 km. A mapping and low-density parity-check code this...
